Inhaltsangabe

Preface; 1. Romancing the real: the field of criminal biography; 2. Defoe's realism: rough frames
strange voices
surprisingly various subjects and readers made more present to themselves; 3. The copious text: opening the door to inference
or
room for those who know how to read it; 4. Imitations of an invisible hand: the mind exercised
enlarged and kept in play by strange concurrences; 5. The general scandal upon business: unanswerable doubts
and the texts as a field supporting very nice distinctions; 6. The frontiers of dishonesty
the additions and concurrence of circumstances: more on the strategic situating of names; 7. Notions different from all the world: criminal stupidity
the self
and the symbolic order; Closing comments: truth
complexity
common sense and empty spaces.
