Jane Newland delves into how Deleuzian concepts can enrich and revitalize our interpretations of literature, which often contains paradoxes. She specifically examines children’s literature by authors who have captivated Deleuze, including Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Lewis Carroll, André Dhôtel, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clzio, and Michel Tournier, as well as Deleuze’s own children’s book, L’oiseau philosophie (The Philosophy Bird). The book explores these concepts through chapters on pure repetition, becoming, cartographies, stuttering, and nonsense.
