Defoe

"As a literary work, Defoe most closely resembles the sort of automatic writing pioneered by Breton and Soupault; as a political and philosophical critique of contemporary discourse, Defoe reveals a deep affnity with the works of Heidegger and Derrida. But ultimately-perhaps most controversially-it is a call to writers to liberate themselves from the limits of narrative and embrace a new kind of writing. In her own words, Scalapino urges writers to 'Make writing that is held to present-time and does not arise from the memory.Get to the point when fiction is so transparent and separated that it doesn't exist.'"Scalapino, Leslie is the author of 'Defoe' with ISBN 9781931243445 and ISBN 1931243441.
