In his writing, remaining true to what is not (that is, God), Jabeès dreams with the kabbalists of ‘as absolute book' of perfect readability, to the absolute absence of which poetics can only begin to allude in the sacred duty of writing. The book remains a mystery and an indefatigable deciphering of the mystery. © Oxford University Press Articles nationallicence Literature and Theology Oxford University Press 10/4(1996-12), 301-316 0269-1205 10:4<301 1996 10 litthe https://doi.org/10.1093/litthe/10.4.301 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/litthe/10.4.301 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Nevo Matthew Del Catholic Theological Union, Sydney, Australia NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Literature and Theology Oxford University Press 10/4(1996-12), 301-316 0269-1205 10:4<301 1996 10 litthe Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
