Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'When we speak of a scandal as 'created', this is often what we mean: something exceptional that takes place outside the text ... it's this feeling of manipulation that encourages Ziolkowski to go on to argue that today the directors are increasingly part of the process, sometimes with the excuse that they are keeping texts alive, but in actuality always submitting them to some external imperative.' The Times Literary Supplement
