Publisher's Synopsis

This book investigates the use of number, geometry, and mathematical abstraction in the service of a literary text. Following Wittgenstein's concept of mathematics as a natural, if specialized, part of ordinary language, Fisher shows how these elements may structure a story, heighten drama, contain emotion, or suggest what cannot be talked about.
