Scandalous Displacements: 'Word' and ' Silent Light' in Miriam Toews's Irma Voth

Abstract

Kroeker presents an essay on the scandalous displacements specifically on word and silent light in the novel "Irma Voth" by Miriam Toews. He provides an overview of the book and its theological aspect. He considers it as a performative poetic act of incarnation that follows the logic of the displayed logos in the prologue of the Gospel of John.
