In Medias Res: A Primer of Experience in Approximate Alphabetical OrderSarabande Books, 2004 - 73 من الصفحات Karen Lee's In Medias Res is an étude on blindness and enlightenment. ... Its taxonomic daring is vintage Stein. ... Lee's strange and gemological arrangements [are] the measure of her gift: the book as a whole seeks to find words for a woman's loss of her sight, and the human capacity to make sense of the patterns and accidents of life. ... Best of all, Lee has a fine paronomastic flair. She highlights but does not belabor the affinities between words. ... Where others might find "blind fortune," Lee finds "unseen wealth."--The Foreword by Heather McHugh. |
