Recenzii
Sacrifice and Modern War Writing examines an impressive range of writers (over forty in each of its three Parts), and develops its readings with superb use of a wide range of theory from Derrida, Agamben, Butler, Girard, Paul Kahn, Levinas, Nietzsche, and others. This is an outstanding, wide-ranging, utterly original meditation on war as it impacted citizens and culture, dwelling on the victims and martyrs of the sacrifice complex and discovering the lineaments of resistance in what it finds at the heart of the war writers' ethical drive: 'an egalitarian imaginary counter to war's violent sacrifices'.
