| 要約: | John Henry Days, Colson Whitehead’s second novel, provides the reader with a moment of suspension, both geographic and temporal, delineated by the three-day festival devoted to John Henry, a figure of American mythology. This paper aims at showing how this text, built on a dynamic of disjunction, keeps meaning at bay, as if the feeling of suspension both of diegesis and language, brought about dissolution and dissemination more than stability and fixity. It seems as though what prevails is a fruitful mingling of voices, the embodiment of the vital power of breath as a form of resistance of desire to reality’s attempts at totalizing. |
