Specificatii
Western civilization has always driven toward mastering the world
through reason, will, craft, and scientific objectivity. Yet
beneath this current swirls a riptide that suggests we can know
more of the world through non-rational means - through spontaneity,
intuition, and creativity. In A Taste For Chaos, literary scholar
Randy Fertel explores this undercurrent of spontaneity in
literature and identifies a new metagenre called improvisations -
texts that claim to have been written without effort or craft, like
an idea that hits you in the shower. Whether the authors claim to
have written them in a dream, instinctively, off the top of their
head, or when drunk, they have done so, so they claim, without
effort, and their work is the more valuable because of it. While
self-styled spontaneous texts claim to be unlike anything we have
ever seen before, they actually abound across genres and time, from
the epic sung poetry of classical Greece to 21st century novels. A
Taste for Chaos, presents a methodology for talking about
spontaneity, and then applies that methodology to landmark texts.
Fertel explores the complex nature of the spontaneous gesture;
identifies the stylistic conventions, themes, and rhetorical
features of improvisations; and explores the archetype of
spontaneity throughout history from philosophy and psychology to
chaos science, jazz, conceptual art, post-modernism, and finally
Hermes - the god of crossing boundaries, of improvisation, who
graces the book's cover. Fertel then provides a fresh approach to
major texts of the Western tradition by analyzing them through the
lens of improvisation: Milton's Paradise Lost, Sterne's Tristram
Shandy, Wordsworth's Tintern Abbey, Tennyson's Idylls of the King,
Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn, Jung's Red Book, Joyce's Ulysses,
Mann's Dr. Faustus, and finally, McEwan's Saturday. Woven
throughout these improvisations, demonstrates Fertel, is the lesson
that we can ultimately know more of the world by accepting the
limits of reason, and opening up rationality to more of life.
