Résumé
The heavy-handed reader-fashioning strategies of Mr Noon make for a notoriously uncongenial read. Yet in its hectoring, uncouth way, steeped in early twentieth-century physiology, the novel implements what Ricœur was later to term ‘appropriation through distance,’ to the point of placing the reader on a quasi-Levinasian ‘plane of superiority.’ A parallel is drawn between its ethics of reading and Levinas’s eros of alterity, notwithstanding the paradox that, in Lawrence’s novel, an eros of alterity presupposes a permanent state of war.
