Forms of Imagination in the Twentieth Century
By William Barrett. "Examining Camus, Hemingway, Faulkner, Kafka,
Joyce, Hesse, and even E. M. Forster - as well as Giacometti, Henry
Moore, Picasso, and others in the visual arts - [Barrett) shows them
moving be,yond rational meaning, which is not the business of art,
toward myth, mysteries, and perspectives even deeper than those in
de Chirico's paintings.,For all the pages that have been written about
them, his interpretations are startingly fresh and provocative.

FROM SYMBOLISM TO STRUCTURALISM
Levi-Strauss in
a
Literary Tradition
By James A. Boon. "Besides explicating Levi-Strauss and cross- '
clarifying his work and symbolism, I should like - after a fashion":'"
to offer a demonstration of these ways of thinking, of organizing the .'
'odds and ends' from texts experienced or experienced 'texted.' The
results of this work should add up to at least a superficial Illustration
of the 'wild thinking' which Levi-Strauss finds most perfectly revealed
by varieties of preliterate
myths."-from the Introduction

SPILLWAY and Other Stories
By Djuna Barnes. "Miss Barnes' prose is the only prose by a living
writer which can be compared with that of Joyce, and in one point
it is superior to his: in its richness in exact and vivid imagery."-Edwin
Muir

RIMBAUD
By Yves Bonnefoy. Translated by Paul Schmidt. "To understand Rim–
baud let us read Rimbaud.. . . There is no point in seeking elsewhere,
at a distance, what Rimbaud tells us himself. .•. I propose to rediscover
a voice, to decipher its will, above all to reawaken its tone: this fever,
this inimitable purity, these moments of triumph, these falterings."
