"Not hubris but the ever self-renewing impulse to play calls new worlds into being.--Nietzsche. Parents and politicians have always taken play seriously. Its formative powers, its focus, its energy, and its ability to signify other things have drawn the attention of writers from Plato and Schiller to Wittgenstein, Nabokov, and Eco. The ease with which an election becomes perceived as a race, a political crisis as a football game, or an argument as a tennis match readily proves how much play means to contemporary life. Just how play confers meaning, however, is best revealed in literature, where meaning is perpetually at stake. 'At stake' itself, the risk of a gamble, is only one intersection between play and life. PLAYTEXTS reveals numerous junctures where literary playfulness--seemingly so diverting and irrelevant--instead opens the most profound questions about creativity, community, value, and belief. How do authors play with their words and readers? Can literature proceed at all unless a reader is willing and able to play? No moralizing monologue, PLAYTEXTS is all for exuberance and creative surge: Breton's construction of an antinovel, Gombrowicz's struggle with adult formalities, Nabokov's swats at the humorless, Sarrazin's seductive notes, Eco's recasting of spy and detective fiction, Reyes's carnal metaphorics." [jacket copy] "A series of wonderfully apt, economical, and witty readings of texts ranging from Breton's Nadja to writing of the 1980s. . . Sparklingly interesting analytic and interpretive criticism."--Ross Chambers. "In my favorite chapters Motte demonstrates that the texts themselves are ludic and that my interpretations of them should 'reflect' their intrinsic properties. Motte mentions Lewis Carroll; Carroll and Sterne are the designers--the major players--of fiction written in English. The very fact that they are rarely seen in this light suggests that PLAYTEXTS forces every critic to reevaluate, to replay usual formulations. To quote Nabokov: 'Come on! Play! Invent the world!'"--Irving Malin, Review of Contemporary Fiction. "This study, influenced by Johan Huizinga, who stated that 'play' is a primary civilizing factor, even has a pun in its title. Motte studies the metaphor of play and games as a broad component in national cultures as opposed to its serious counterpart, 'real life.' This work presents paradigms for play with excursions into the creative work of Nabokov, Calvino, Eco, and others. . . Comprehensive notes and bibliography follow a successful avoidance of jargon."--A. Hirsh, Choice. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a distinguished gray jacket over its yellow boards.…
