Abstract
The theme of mimesis appears frequently and repeatedly on two levels in R.M. Berry’s fiction. While his characters grapple with texts, images, and even mathematical formulae to describe their personal visions or experiences, Berry’s own writing runs a gamut of mimetic experimentation in the textual reproduction of sounds, images, and narrators, voices. In the tension between these two levels, Berry seems to be searching for a contemporary definition of mimesis. This article places Berry’s search in a broader historical context of the American fascination with reproduction and representation.
