"One must admire these books for their interesting and well-chosen examples, drawn from a wide-ranging experience in practically all the arts, and for their well-informed thoughtfulness...Those interested in an aesthetic theory applicable to all the arts will find these volumes informative, provocative, challenging, and quite rewarding."-Harold F. Mosher, Style, Summer 1999 "The lucidity, elegance, and sophistication that have always characterized Genette's writing are present in his new study as well."-Eyal Segal, Poetics Today, Summer 2002 "Genette's exploration of the ontology of art builds a bridge between poststructuralist and analytic work on the theory of the arts. I see Genette's move in the direction of a sophisticated fusion of continental and analytic sources as a highly promising event."-Paisley Livingston, McGill University
