| Summary: | In Plays Well with
Others (1997), his novel about the AIDS pandemic which decimated the
New York gay community in the eighties, Allan Gurganus makes a plea against
sectarianism and exclusion. The purpose of this paper is to show how Allan
Gurganus’s rejection of closed territories manifests itself literally through
his experimental and generous writing. By systematically playing with syntax,
lexis and punctuation, but also with genre and various forms of artistic
expression, Gurganus stretches the limits of language and of fiction, thus
redefining open aesthetic spaces. |
