The Will to Power
In her field-changing first book, Women, Compulsion, Modernity: The Moment of American Naturalism, Jennifer L. Fleissner placed female identity at the center of the most masculine of genres: American naturalism.

It is metaphorical, in the sense that Sebald explores a set of imaginary spaces nested …
