Masterful analyses demonstrate the eloquence of “blind” narrative in cultivating the pleasure of the unexpected and shaping representation in Western traditions.’ — Tammy Berberi, Associate Professor of French, University of Minnesota, Morris, USA UR - https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-43511-8 ER -
