Liminal states are so subtle and evanescent that only literary depictions can do them justice; and so literature, along with philosophy and some science, has generated this book's argument. That argument is then turned back upon literature to show how both reading and writing are liminal experiences, taking place at the edges of conscious thought. 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aLiminality 606 $aConsciousness 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aLiminality. 615 0$aConsciousness. 676 $a809/.933561 700 $aSchwenger$b Peter$f1942-$0782832 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463451403321 996 $aAt the borders of sleep$92474049 997 $aUNINA
