Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. If there is a labyrinth and a sphere, Proust's memory as the minatory, then this book is genius. A flight out of that space and time. Icarus here is returned: precise, violent, and passionate. Alive. Geoff Waite German Studies and Comparative Literature, Cornell University: Scott Hartstein's Adagia is a novel in that it is not a novel. Therein lies its novelty. It is a kaleidoscope, whose reflections in both senses shimmer about a plot, to be sure, but a plot that plays second fiddle to the author's impressive erudition and his digressions into cultural, literary, religious, philosophical, musical, linguistic byways of all kinds and dimensions. These beckon the often challenged reader to follow along, unsure where he is eventually being led by the author the work's real protagonist and wondering through what lush landscapes he will be able to return. Adagia will impress and astound many readers, perplex some, even intimidate infuriate? others. But it will not leave many indifferent.
