Interruptions: The Fragmentary Aesthetic in Modern Literature - Modern and Contemporary Poetics
Gerald L. Bruns
Explores the effects of parataxis, or fragmentary writing as a device in modern literature. Gerald L. Bruns focuses on texts that refuse to follow the traditional logic of sequential narrative. He explores numerous examples of self-interrupting composition, starting with Friedrich Schlegel's inaugural theory and practice of the fragment as an assertion of the autonomy of words.
