Apocalyptic Futures: Marked Bodies and the Violence of the Text in Kafka, Conrad and Coetzee - Modern Language Initiative
Russell Samolsky
In this book, the author argues that certain modern literary texts have apocalyptic futures. Rather than claim that great writers have clairvoyant powers, he examines the ways in which a text incorporates an apocalyptic event into its future reception. He is thus concerned with the way in which apocalyptic works solicit their future receptions.
