The View from Nowhere is a cross-disciplinary work that studies the impact of the mystical discourse, specifically Cabala, on literature, from the Renaissance to the present. The other major concern of The View from Nowhere is to evaluate the "reading" of postmodern simulation-theory, principally that of Jean Baudrillard of Kierkegaardian and Nietzschean existentialism.

Reviews for The View from Nowhere. Essays in Literature, Mysticism and Philosophy.
With great learning and rich suggestiveness, this book invokes a great, wide-ranging ocean of a text, and all that a reader can do is view it from a shore that may have already been washed away.
