[Vwoolf] And I thought *I* was pedantic ...

[Stuart N. Clarke]

E.g., "The 'inhumanity' of 'Jacob's Room', as both Adorno and Lyotard might recognize it, obtains in the text's denial of its own explanatory closure, in the inconclusiveness that refuses to allow any signified in the narrative to emerge from behind the force of its signifier." (p. 74).
