Woman at the Window: Biblical Tales of Oppression and Escape (review) Carl E. Savage Hebrew Studies, Volume 41, 2000, pp. 256-258 (Review) Published by National Association of Professors of Hebrew DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/hbr.2000.0008 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/437871/summary Access provided at 18 Feb 2020 04:45 GMT from JHU Libraries Hebrew Studies 41 (2000) 256 Reviews around her interpretation (a step that Jacques Derrida recommends; see his Limited Inc., 1988, p. 141). "Why Ask My Name?" addresses questions that this reader has pon dered, such as how some anonymous chamcters in the Hebrew Bible man age to linger in the reader's mind, long after an encounter with the narra tive. Their identity comes through, even in that interplay with anonymity. Reinhartz explores this as well as how anonymity manages to destabilize chamcter, certainly an important issue. lbrough Reinhartz's detailed analy sis of the presence of anonymity she shows anonymity to be something more than the monolithic existence of unnamed chamcters in Hebrew nar rative. lbrough her patient, detailed exposition she shows anonymity to be a multi-faceted phenomenon with sophisticated nuances in individual pas sages. The book remains very accessible and readable throughout. Postmo demists and more traditional exegetes alike
