Apprehend - Paperback

by Elizabeth Robinson (Author)

Taking her cues from folktale, legend, and fable, Elizabeth Robinson has reinvented the 'uses of enchantment.' She shows, with a minimalist's precision and a logician's attention to linguistic morphology, how the often bleak agenda of the real capitulates to the moral restitution of the true; how our need to tell stories enjambs faith and enlightenment.
--Ann Lauterbach.
