| description |
Displaying the geographical and textual challenges that spending
winter in the Yaak Valley represents, Winter is a founding work of Rick Bass’s
nature-writing. This article intends to show that, far from distracting the
author from his original referential purpose, the metatextual questioning of
discourse paradoxically leads him to renew the notion of realism and unveil the
most intimate, invisible aspects of nature. An analogy between diary-writing
and map-writing first leads me to unveil Bass’s respectful recording of the
mysteries of nature. The whiteness of winter then appears as a necessary screen
initiating the eye to loss and renunciation. I finally try to show that by
subverting romantic clichés, Bass’s poetic transcription of unexpected,
fleeting events of everyday life can favor an emotional encounter with
Otherness. |
