Eriniile lui Littell
Littell’s Erinyes

Summary/Abstract: An essay on Jonathan Littell’s controversial novel The Benevolents. Are the executioner and the victim of the same kind, can they exchange places? The answer given by this huge and violent novel – that one can define as “historical delirium” – is that we don’t deal with something transient, but with something that has existed in us from the very beginning, since the first rape, Oedip and the House of the Atrides.
