About this ebook
Interruptions is a highly original book which refuses characterization as either literature or theory. Hans-Jost Frey explores the problem of the fragment both from a more traditional critical perspective, discussing the peculiar status of the fragmentary text in literary studies, and in a performative or exemplary way through fictional texts and short meditations. In its forays beyond the narrower realm of literary criticism, Frey addresses in turn such crucial issues as the law, personal history, death, and the constraints of understanding, revealing in each case the fundamental role the fragment plays in them.
