Trouble with Genius

Auteur: Perelman, Bob
Editeur: University of California Press
A paradox: Ezra Pound, James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, and Louis Zukofsky all wrote their central works to be 'masterpieces'. And yet these writings are so hard to read. This work shows how the inaccessibility of their writing reveals the conflict between the goals of social relevance and literary innovation.
