Yet despite the popularity and critical recognition of his work, Quignard remains a discreet and fleeting presence in the current cultural landscape, sharing with other contemporary French writers the belief that literature is a form of self-effacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this first critical study in English, Léa Vuong offers a comprehensive survey of Quignard’s still growing œuvre by examining his specific attempts to produce disappearance through — and for — writing. His texts and collaborations appear as vanishing acts where the writer, like the figure on the Tomb of the Diver found in Paestum, remains suspended between presence and absence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maney Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061201584368,"sku":"9781909662919","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781909662919_p0.jpg?v=1763625009","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781909662919","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
