Rilke was a liar, an opportunist, and a terrible father. Unreading Rilke subjects his oeuvre to a critical, unorthodox reading. The essays collected in this book offer new insights into Rilke's psyche, his Duino Elegies, his impact on Hollywood and Russian art, and his influence on other authors. Literary theory, postmodernism, cultural studies, gender studies, and psychoanalysis help debunk the myth of Rainer Maria Rilke.
