Conrad, Faulkner, and the Problem of NonSense
Bloomsbury Academic USA (Verlag)
978-1-5013-3074-2 (ISBN)
Ebileeni argues that in Conrad’s and Faulkner’s major novels, the quest for meaning in confronting the prospects of nonsense becomes a necessary symptom of human experience to both avoid and engage the entropy of modern life.
Maurice Ebileeni is Lecturer in the English Department at the University of Haifa, Israel.
