About This Book
"Joyce is part of a revolution in narrative form."--"Newsweek"
"Dawn it is, to be sure. The granddaddy of full-length hypertext fiction is Michael Joyce's landmark "Afternoon""--Robert Coover, "The New York Times Book Review"
Michel Foucault famously wrote, "I am fully aware that I have never written anything other than fictions." In this polylingual, operatic fantasy comprised of invented letters, most of them unsent, set in Sweden during February 1956 while Foucault was undergoing a Swedish winter, the philosopher finds himself not just researching, but living through, his work to come, "Madness and Civilization."
