“By the roots of my hair some god got hold of me.
I sizzled in his blue volts like a desert prophet.”– Plath, “The Hanging Man” (1960)
At work in novels is “a new logic, definitely a logic, but one that grasps the innermost depths of life and death without leading us back to reason. The novelist has the eye of a prophet, not the gaze of a psychologist” (82).
– Deleuze, “Bartleby, or the Formula” (1989)
