- Description
- The Ptolemaic universe of MLT should have a still center, but neither this Tale nor the CT as a whole seems to reflect "a single interpretive order." Thematic and tonal threads pull in different directions, as if the Tale harbored an anticipation of today's highly speculative "string theory," which "admits the possibility of a multiverse in which numerous concurrent realities (of reader-responses) can coexist."
