"Jabès explores a realm of subversiveness above suspicion, indeed a dialectic of subversion itself. Poised between the poetic and the aphoristic, Jabès's new book calls into deep meditative question the easy, received notions of subversiveness which have become a sort of default mode for diligently dull academic scholars, and celebrates the energies of ever-freshened inquiry."—John Hollander, Yale University
