Dying for Time

- Proust, Woolf, Nabokov

About Dying for Time

Novels by Proust, Woolf, and Nabokov have been read as expressions of a desire to transcend time. Hagglund gives them another reading entirely: fear of time and death is generated by investment in temporal life. Engaging with Freud and Lacan, he opens a new way of reading the dramas of desire as they are staged in both philosophy and literature.
