ISBN: 0-8223-0712-X Language: English Description: "In a fundamental departure from previous scholarly analyses, The Emperor's Kites argues that each of the seventy tales by the Argentine master Jorge Luis Borges recasts a single underlying story or paradigm. Lusky Friedman identifies this narrative schema in Borges' tales and carefully studies its origins in his early texts. Her study explores the meaning of Borges' ur-text by bringing contemporary ego psychology and object relations theory to bear on his earliest tales, the nar. rative sketches of A Universal History of Infamy, and elements in the early essays and poetry.
Lusky Friedman discerns in the, paradigm a complex expression of Borges' ambivalence in his feelings for his father, an ambivalence intensified by his father's death in 1938. The author speculates that Borges' mourning for his father may have led him to alter his narrative paradigm in fruitful ways that account for his sudden maturation into a writer of genius."
