Media Reviews
"I would suggest that Flaubert resembles Kafka as a progenitor of literary modernism in his ability to draw intense energy from his own neuroses, to plumb their depths so fearlessly that he can transform them from a bizarre special case into an exemplary condition...Let me [also] propose a configuration of three recurrent ideas on his correspondence: prostitution, the Mediterranean, and art itself."
