Description

Book Synopsis
The texts and visual arts of ancient Egypt reveal a persistent and sophisticated engagement with problems of language, the body, and multiplicity. This innovative book shows how these issues were represented and how Egyptian approaches to them continue to influence the way we think about them today.

Trade Review
"Hare's book is the first postmodern treatment of ancient Egypt, meaning an approach that is highly subjective, reflexive, ironic, ludic, eclectic, reconstructive, imaginative, and creative. Notwithstanding his being a specialist in early Japanese literature, Hare's knowledge of ancient Egypt, Egyptian grammar, and the professional literature is excellent. No Egyptologist, however, would have been able to cast such a fresh and uninhibited look at Egyptian texts and Egyptological theories and interpretations." -Jan Assmann,University of Heidelberg
