Jane Newland explores how Deleuzian concepts can enhance and invigorate our readings of this literature, whose implied readership masks much paradox. She focuses on children’s texts by some of the authors who fascinate Deleuze, including Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Lewis Carroll, André Dhôtel, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio and Michel Tournier, as well as Deleuze’s own children’s book, L'oiseau philosophie . The authors are explored across chapters on central Deleuzian pure repetition, becoming, cartographies, stuttering and nonsense.
