Abstract

Folsom: Cary was suggesting that in The Lice and The Carrier of Ladders you sometimes take on the voice of the culture in a kind of negative way. I’m wondering if sometimes too the voice in those books is not that of the other animals, if your desire throughout your work is not in part to accomplish what is both impossible and absolutely necessary, that is, to give voice to the voiceless beings, to those creatures that cannot speak their rage. Do you at times feel your voice coming not from the human culture but instead from the silent herds being destroyed by that human culture?
