Yet even as twentieth-century writers pushed against the constraints of Victorian, plot-driven novels, Pardis Dabashi shows that plot kept its hold on them through the influence of another medium: the cinema. Focusing on the novels of Nella Larsen, Djuna Barnes, and William Faulkner-writers known for their moviegoing affinities and connections to early film-Dabashi uses the relationship between literature and the cinema to reveal a profound longing for plot in modernist fiction. Dabashi links the moviegoing practices of Larsen, Barnes, and Faulkner to the tensions in their works, tensions between the formal properties of the novels and the characters in them. In making a distinction between what the novel is doing and what their characters desire, these authors ponder how it is one thing to withhold plot as a gesture of modernist aesthetics, and quite another to be denied the comfort of plot's architecture in one's living and breathing existence"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: The arts of inconsequence -- Nella Larsen and Greta Garbo: on (in)consequence ; PremieÌre entr'acte -- Djuna Barnes and Marlene Dietrich: on the security of torment ; DeuxieÌme entr'acte -- William Faulkner and early film: on the limits of the present -- Coda: Max Ophuls: on love and finitude. 600 10 $a Larsen, Nella. $t Quicksand. 600 10 $a Barnes, Djuna. $t Nightwood. 600 10 $a Dietrich, Marlene. 600 10 $a Faulkner, William, $d 1897-1962. $t Sound and the fury. 600 10 $a Ophuls, Max, $d 1902-1957 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Dietrich, Marlene $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00010946 600 17 $a Ophuls, Max, $d 1902-1957 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00039886 630 00 $a Camille (Motion picture : 1936) 630 00 $a Madame de...
