This is the first serious attempt to analyse the development and variation of themes in the work of S. J. Agnon (1888? - 1970), winner of the Nobel Prize for literature in 1966. In particular, the author looks at psychological themes, allowing his approach to be determined by the nature and style of the works themselves, rather than attempting to fit them into any one psychoanalytical framework.

An insightful reading of Agnon,
By
This review is from: At the Handles of the Lock: Themes in the Fiction of S.J. Agnon (Littman Library of Jewish Civilization) (Hardcover)
This work is an insightful reading of Agnon which enriches our understanding of this very complicated writer. Agnon makes use of all the historical resources and levels of the language, and to really comprehend what he is doing it helps to have a commentary like this one.
