The Paper Nautilus: A Trilogy

Autor Michael Jackson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – noi 2019
The Paper Nautilus is about loss the forms it takes, how we go on living in the face of it, and the mysterious ways that new life and new beginnings are born of brokenness. The paper nautilus provides a vivid image of this interplay of death and rebirth since, for new life to begin, the angelically beautiful but fragile shell that sustained a former life must be shattered. Michael Jackson has recourse to his ethnographic fieldwork among the Kuranko of Sierra Leone, as well as autobiography and fiction, in exploring his theme. This book crosses and blends genres most engagingly. Beginning as a series of essays, it gradually morphs into a mesmerising work of the imagination in which the boundary between author and other becomes blurred, and the line between fact and fiction erased.

Recenzii

"Through novels, poetry, and unorthodox theoretical texts, Michael Jackson has done more than any other living scholar to explore and expand forms of ethnographic writing. His encounters in Sierra Leone have inspired a series of publications that move progressively free from the bounds of standard genre from classical monograph to fable analysis to oral history to a variety of biography/memoir hybrids so as to explore various constellations of consistent themes including travel, struggle, storytelling, social interaction, and personal introspection." Samuel Mark Anderson (American Ethnologist 43 (2), 2016)
