Reviews

Long's study is impressive in that he reveals the formal complexity of Bernhard's texts... Only when one includes such formal details in an analysis can one grasp the complex fuction of Bernhard's narrative strategies.
*GERMAN STUDIES REVIEW*

Long evinces an impressive familiarity with the secondary literature ... [and] thoughtfully engages a wide range of studies and approaches in developing his own cogent arguments.
