Stepping Off the Edge

Stepping Off the Edge addresses the question of literary edges and endings in contemporary

works of literature from France, the United States, Canada, and Latin America. The book

includes discussion of works by nine different authors, including Anne Carson, Marie NDiaye,

Paul Auster, and César Aira. It considers the way that specific texts identify and interrogate

textual boundaries, and also draw attention to questions of closure. Each of these texts also

reflects on the way we experience and write about edges and endings in our lives.
