The Fact of the Cage: Reading and Redemption In David Foster Wallace’s "Infinite Jest" (Routledge Studies in Contemporary Literature)

Karl A Plank

4.9/5 (20117 ratings)

Description:David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest raised expectations of what a novel might do. As he understood fiction to aim at what it means to be human, so he hoped his work might relieve the loneliness of human suffering. In that light, The Fact of the Cage shows how Wallace's masterpiece dramatizes the condition of encagement and how it comes to be met by Abiding and through inter-relational acts of speaking and hearing, touching, and facing. Revealing Wallace's theology of a boneless Christ, The Fact of the Cage wagers that reading such a novel as Infinite Jest makes available to readers the redemption glimpsed in its pages, that reading fiction has ethical and religious significance--in short, that reading Infinite Jest makes one better. As such, Plank's work takes steps to defend the ethics of fiction, the vital relation between religion and literature, and why one just might read at all.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
