Can These Bones Live
With Forty-two Drawings by James Kearns
Description
Edward Dahlberg is an anomaly in American letters, an iconoclastic, imaginative prophet who thinks and writers like no one else. In this book, he grapples with Thoreau, Dn Quixote, Emily Dickinson, Randolph Bourne, Melville, Poe, Whitman, and Jesus Christ in a collection of startling essays, beginning as literary criticism but developing into a critique of thought, culture, and life itself.
