Wallace’s fiction questions the contemporary Western cult of the beautiful and forever young body by shaping instead hideous and suffering characters. Reflecting the dehumanizing effects of a postmodern civilization ruled by entertainment, merchandizing and competition, those bodies are read within the psychoanalytical opposition between the substantial and open body of needs and drives and the subtle and desiring body stamped by the Law. This article also demonstrates how Wallace’s writing of hideous bodies paradoxically opens on a compassionate form of beauty based on care and awareness. |
