Frenzy is a mythological fable suffused with such crucial philosophical issues as being, existence, time, and language. Through the narrative device of Vlepo, the trickster-servant to god Dionysos, who can read people’s minds, reading and interpreting are offered as paradigms for an appropriate attitude to life, opening onto the world through the development of relations. The article aims at showing how the poetic fabric of this lyrical novel both illustrates and calls us to care for our surroundings as well as for words and language
