With Metamorphoses, stories and theater of our changing era, the reader holds a double volume in their hands, yet its purpose is singular. It is the product of one and the same impulse, one and the same tension toward whatever, in our age, resists clarity. The two books gathered here, Decalogical Revelation and Apotropaic Writings, are the two faces of the same mirror held up to modernity: one reveals its illusions, the other seeks to ward off its enchantments.
