For Foucault, an 'experience book' is a book which transforms our experience by acting on us in a direct and unsettling way. Timothy O'Leary develops and applies this concept to literary texts. Starting from the premise that works of literature are capable of having a profound effect on their audiences, he suggests a way of understanding how these effects are produced. Offering extended analyses of Irish writers such as Swift, Joyce, Beckett, Friel and Heaney, O'Leary draws on Foucault's concept of experience as well as the work of Dewey, Gadamer, and Deleuze and Guattari. Combining these resources, he proposes a new approach to the ethics of literature. Of interest to readers in both philosophy and literary studies, this book offers new insights into Foucault's mature philosophy and an improved understanding of what it is to read and be affected by a work of fiction 410 0$aContinuum literary studies. 606 $aFiction$xPsychological aspects 606 $2Western philosophy, from c 1900 - 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aLiterature and morals 606 $aEthics in literature 615 0$aFiction$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLiterature and morals. 615 0$aEthics in literature. 676 $a801.95 700 $aO'Leary$b Timothy$f1966-$01597748 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816519203321 996 $aFoucault and fiction$93984123 997 $aUNINA
