AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In Corfu, Robert Dessaix establishes a dialectic between myth and reality, the heroic and the ordinary, through the apt use of allusion: his novel is richly tinctured with Homer and Chekhov, Sappho and C.P. Cavafy' (37). Henrickson in this essay draws out and comments on the multiple layers of allusion through which Dessaix's novel works.
