Yes, this essay represents Section One of Part Three of Ermarth's
_Sequel to History: Postmodernism and the Crisis of Representational
Time_. Princeton: Princeton UP, 1992.
For what it's worth, I find her analyses of Robbe-Grillet, Cortazar,
and VN quite stimulating, although, with regard to the earlier query,
her chapter deals primarily with Kristeva's and Derrida's views of language,
and not with Lacan or any other pyschoanalytic reading of VN.
