Klappentext A theoretical, mythopoetic work, Tractatuus Philosophika-Poeticuus uses various poetic, narrative, and dramatic techniques and devices to fashion a new scriptoral genre, one that is engaged with critical discourses, even while it reads like a labyrinthine story. An aesthetic theory that depicts the path of writing through the deployment of a group of anonymous wanderers and a constantly metamorphosing 'I, ' Tractatuus Philosophika-Poeticuus uses the parameters and the dynamics of the reading experience to construct this treatise on poetics. The work defies convenient categorization and tackles, through formal and stylistic innovations, the very possibilities and limits of literature.
