As a writer who continually evidences intention to control interpretation and audience in ways more radical than one normally finds, Le Fort provides a good starting point for studying the problem of textuality, particularly the question of the role of the reader. %K Reputation, Philosophy, Textuality, Reader, Literary critic %G English
