Shlomith Rimmon-Kenan answers the first question in the affirmative and answers the second not through an abstract theoretical discussion but by following the lead of twentieth-century narratives that have taken representation and subjectivity as their themes. The result is a move beyond both traditional notions of these concepts and the poststructuralist undoing of them. Focusing on William Faulkner's \u003ci\u003eAbsalom, Absalom!, \u003c\/i\u003e Vladimir Nabokov's \u003ci\u003eThe Real Life of Sebastian Knight, \u003c\/i\u003e Christine Brooke-Rose's \u003ci\u003eThru, \u003c\/i\u003e Samuel Beckett's \u003ci\u003eCompany, \u003c\/i\u003e and Toni Morrison's \u003ci\u003eBeloved, \u003c\/i\u003e Rimmon-Kenan shows how modes of narration participate in the exploration of the problematics of representation and subjectivity. Her insightful analyses of the narrative strategies of these five novels demonstrate her point that narration itself provides a special access to representation and subjectivity. In addition, these analyses offer a compelling example of what it means to claim that we can treat narrative as theory. \u003ci\u003eA Glance beyond Doubt\u003c\/i\u003e thus provides an important methodological contribution to narrative studies while offering fresh and sophisticated readings of important modernist and postmodernist novels. Rimmon-Kenan's work is valuable for students of narrative and of twentieth-century literature, and it has important implications for other disciplines now studying narrative, especially philosophy, historiography, psychoanalysis, and jurisprudence. \u003cb\u003eShlomith Rimmon-Kenan\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of English and comparative literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
