This essay is an exercise in the phenomenology – and post-phenomenology – of reading in relation to Elizabeth Bowen's The Hotel (1927), a novel that thematizes and reflects on the uncanny status of reading and provokes in response an experimental critical ABC. Special attention is given to the work of French psychoanalyst Charles Baudouin in foregrounding the role and effects of suggestion in reading. Engaging with the concerns of writing and reading fiction in the 'Anthropocene' (especially in the form of what is here called twi-fi) and drawing on notions of literary anachrony, cryptaesthetic resistance, queerness and deferred effect, the essay offers a new critical appreciation of the singularity of Bowen's novel.

This piece seeks to explore notions of commemoration and autobiography with particular reference to the life and work of Laura Marcus. Special attention is given to her Auto/Biographical Discourses, Virginia Woolf and Autobiography, as well as Paul de Man's essay 'Autobiography as De-Facement', the work of Jacques Derrida (in Mémoires: For Paul de Man and elsewhere), and Woolf's 'biography', Orlando (1927).

This text offers a preliminary exploration of the relations between philosophy, psychoanalysis, telepathy and podiatry.

Royle's essay explores 'world' and 'fiction' in the final session (26 March 2003) of Jacques Derrida's The Beast and the Sovereign with particular reference to notions of the poetic or poematic, war and non-world, wound and debridement, the mouth, non-human animals, the gothic, being born, grammar and aposiopesis.
