dc.descriptionThis is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis Group in Symposium on April 1, 2014, available online at http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00397709.2014.877267
dc.description.abstractThe extraordinary complication of Camus's La Chute creates what might be called an allusive complex, including numerous allusions creating various parallels and oppositions. If an allusion is “the metaphorical relationship created when an alluding text evokes and uses another” (Pasco), what makes it especially interesting in Camus's monologue is the way its multiple, extended, and synoptic (or brief) allusions work together to create an experience of significant power that focuses on why the reader cannot accept Clamence's ultimate invitation to confess to him. Camus takes his referent texts for the most part from the Bible and the French tradition, leaving no doubt of the culture required of the reader.
