"An Unprecedented Deformation is an excellent integration of a series of essays that Carbone has dedicated to the theme of sensible ideas in recent years." — Symposium"…Carbone has written a brilliant and innovative work. More than a philosophical interpretation of Proust based on the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Gilles Deleuze, the study treads new ground for epistemology, offering a new theory of ideas … This is an important book for philosophy as well as literature … Highly recommended." — CHOICE
