title: Nietzsche: A Novel (SUNY series in Contemporary Continental Philosophy)
author:  David Farrell Krell 
description: A radical philosopher deserves a radical biography, and Krell has provided such a radical presentation of Nietzsches life and death. By telling this story from the perspective of Nietzsches insanity Krell gives the account a Dionysian and excessive quality that I have found nowhere else in the literature on Nietzsche. This is an original and powerful work that is conceived in a remarkable intimacy with Nietzsche as a philosopher. It is a demanding, disturbing book, a creative accomplishment of the first order.<br /><br />This masterfully conceived work effectively uses Nietzsches letters translated with clarity and verve. Krell gives expression in the style and structure of this book to many of Nietzsches thoughts about time, madness, order, love, tragedy, and character. In its broken narrations the book achieves what is probably impossible to achieve in discursive thought: a performance of the ideas and movement whereby Nietzsche put in question many of the leading principles of order in western civilization.  Charles Scott, Penn State University<br /><br />"The biographical scholarship and literary erudition behind Krell's Nietzsche are awe-inspiring. Anyone interested in Nietzsche's life and art will be pleasurably instructed by reading this rare book--rare in that novels by scholars seldom work so beautifully." -- Graham Parkes, University of Hawaii
