- Description
- Leigh Redhead's Simone Kirsch novels feature a tense combination of showing and telling. Does the telling explain or obscure the showing? Does the showing stand in for-or predicate- the telling? This essay pursues these questions via Redhead's "eureka moment," looking for origins and pre(-)texts in the author's confessional essay and her debut Simone Kirsch novel, Peepshow (2004).
