Rezensionen

"The double is not the same. This is the lesson of Double Trouble, which revises and expands the concept of the double into a theory of multiple identity. It is actually two books in one, a biographical essay and a theoretical essay, which resonate with one another, producing allegorical sparks. This doubled book is a fascinating new entry on a topic that may well be the key to modern European thought."

Paul North, Yale University

"Double Trouble provides subtle and sophisticated readings of a wide-ranging variety of literary and theoretical resources, along with soul-searching reflections on personal experience. Particularly, it addresses the issue of the double in a way that does not stop with academic speculation, but demands that the reader confront the practical implications of these reflections."

Duane H. Davis, University of North Carolina
