Silence and sound in the sentences of Gerald Murnane’s A Million Windows

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article develops a reading of Gerald Murnane's 2014 novel A Million Windows, focusing on the manner in which the novel interrogates the nature of meaning making in fiction. It looks at the paired ideas of sound and silence: the former producing sense through sentences proper to the sense they need to convey; the latter impressing itself as what needs to be understood.
