Liminality in Fantastic Fiction : A Poststructuralist Approach
Cummings' poetry and Peter Ackroyd's seminal novel, Hawksmoor. Although at first sight a comparison of these two authors might seem surprising, the analysis offered by this new book shows that such a reading can be revelatory for the understanding of both authors.
Relying on close readings informed by the spatial theories of Mircea Eliade, Michel Foucault and Gaston Bachelard, it sheds light on a common understanding of space: By doing so, it also radically reinterprets the oeuvre of both authors, in that it positions Cummings away from the accepted image of the neo-Romantic poet of transcendence and situates Ackroyd in the continuing tradition of late Modernism.

Through its careful selection of material, it brings together and inspires new ways of looking at these established figures from the worlds of popular fiction.
Sandor Klapcsik proves to be an invaluable guide and a sophisticated thinker as he moves between genres and oeuvres; fans as well as scholars of SF and detective mysteries will find much food for thought in his critical explorations. Klapcsik appears something to be a polymath; he is certainly deeply knowledgeable about the whole range of post-structuralist theory, and able to use a number of theoretical vocabularies with authority and a fluency that I frankly envy.
