Recenzje

'The Raiders and Writers of Cervantes' Archive is an interesting descent into the secret world of archives, being now invaded and scoured as potentially traumatic experiences. Paul Kong delves into a process of re-definition of such ''wells'' of knowledge, re-structuring them in terms of a psychic entity from which subconscious or unconscious material may emerge.'
