(2014) The event of style in literature, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
When Susan Sontag, in "On Style", claims that "talk of style must rely on metaphors [, and] metaphors mislead", she does not so much suggest that we have to work towards non-metaphorical ways of discussing style — what would presumably amount to style/ess discourse — but that already existing metaphors of style, practically all of which "amount to placing matter on the inside, style on the outside", are misleading.1
