Edmond Jabes and the Archaeology of the Book Summary

Edmond Jabes and the Archaeology of the Book: Text, Pre-Texts, Contexts by Tsivia Wygoda Frank

This book offers a fresh reflection on The Book of Questions by the French-Egyptian Jewish writer Edmond Jabes and its readings, and proposes to re-contextualize Jabes' enigmatic prose through the lens of the author's manuscripts. Addressed are the main prisms through which Jabes' oeuvre has been read since its publication in 1963: Jewishness, the Shoah, intertextuality with Midrash and Kabbalah, hermeticism and interpretation. It analyzes their shapes and their becoming in the work-in-progress, reveals the dynamics and the contexts of their evolution from the pre-texts to the text and beyond, and reflects on the relationship between creation, interpretation, and writing as a process. It seeks to rethink our reading of The Book of Questions and the poetics and hermeneutics of enigmatic writing.
