Publisher's Synopsis

By synthesising Kayser's and Bakhtin's views of the grotesque and Heidegger's philosophy of ""Being"", this work demonstrates that American fiction has tried to convey the existentialist dimension: the pre-individual totality which defines itself against the mind and its linguistic capacity.
