Résumé anglais TWWK is a fragmented, chaotic narrative including Ran's addresses to his father, bits of dialogue with his mother and his tentative personal ordering of past events within its formal static circularity. Through different devices — escape into the past, reduplication of the same space — the centripetal closure of the narrative opposes the centrifugal dynamics of a revelation impossible to utter. Myth denies both history and the story of Maideen's suicide and the text repeats the dialectics of circle and center, opening and closure, static circularity and dynamic cycle at work in the whole of The Golden Apples.
