Fantasy as Antifantasy 2 (6) Rhetoric of Nonexistence: Impossible Simile and Unrealizable Scenes in The Last Unicorn, translated

Translation of the 6th chapter of my comprehensive study on The Last Unicorn, published in 2009, in Japan.

https://www.academia.edu/100135106/Fantasy_as_Antifantasy_2_6_Rhetoric_of_Nonexistence_Impossible_Simile_and_Unrealizable_Scenes_in_The_Last_Unicorn

This chapter discussed the numinous aspect of The Last Unicorn by applying various notions gained from the cosmological construction of Post Quantum Mechanics, the system structure of which is supposed to be able to irradiate the implication of traditional notions such as imagination, inspiration and synchronicity. Especially in The Last Unicorn those ideas are integrated in its speculative design through the word “magic,” which seems to affect everything as a signal extending to both material and immaterial, conscious being and non-conscious matters, like pilot wave generating resonance in everything. Perhaps, without the reinforcements of these key notions, I’m afraid, Peter S. Beagle’s masterpiece will be unnoticed without gaining due comprehension by those who are truly capable of grasping its virtue. I hope many scholars will take note of this masterpiece and give support to my poor attainment in my research of high aspiration.
