Two Novellas
註釋Fiction. As with Michael Heller's memoirs and essays, TWO NOVELLAS: MARBLE SNOWS & THE STUDY continues his project of poetry by other means. These works, written some twenty years apart and drawing on such diverse influences as Akutagawa's short fictions, Joyce's Portrait and Valery's Monsieur Teste, embody Heller's exploration of language's dramatic relationship to character, fate and incident. Using radically different narrative techniques, the two novellas are united by a persistent vision, both anguished and comic, of a consciousness ransomed to words and yet, in mysterious ways, seemingly redeemed by them. "In the subtle resources of this articulate poet's testament, one voice again speaks for all"--Robert Creeley.
