The Genesis of Secrecy: On the Interpretation of Narrative - The Charles Eliot Norton Lectures
Frank Kermode
Kermode examines enigmatic passages and episodes in the gospels. From his reading come ideas about what makes interpretation possible—and often impossible. He considers ways in which narratives acquire opacity, and he asks whether there are methods of distinguishing all possible meaning from a central meaning which gives the story its structure.
