Description and Table of Contents

Description

An exploration of the work of Walker Percy, focusing on the fugue state - a form of hysterical dissociation marked by temporary amnesia and physical wandering. Rudnicki argues that this expresses the existential conflict of wanting both to integrate with the world and escape it.
