Literature Suspends Death: Sacrifice and Storytelling in Kierkegaard, Kafka and Blanchot 1st edition
Danta, Dr. Chris (University of New South Wales, Australia)
A study of how three important European thinkers - Kierkegaard, Kafka and Blanchot - use the Binding of Isaac to illuminate the sacrificial situation of the literary writer. It shows that literature plays a vital and heretical role in these three writers' highly idiosyncratic accounts of the Akedah.
