It's like joining the book club of your dreams.\"-Francine Prose \"Wendy Lesser's extraordinary alertness, intelligence, and curiosity have made her one of America's most significant cultural critics,\" writes Stephen Greenblatt. In Why I Read, she draws on a lifetime of pleasure reading and decades of editing to describe a life lived in and through literature. As Lesser examines work from such perspectives as \"Character and Plot,\" \"Novelty,\" \"Grandeur and Intimacy,\" and \"Authority,\" the reader will discover a definition of literature that is as broad as it is broad-minded. In addition to novels and stories, Lesser explores plays, poems, and essays, along with mysteries, science fiction, and memoirs. Her passion for reading is infectious-and it resonates on every page. Iconoclastic, conversational, and full of insight, Why I Read will delight avid readers as well as neophytes in search of sheer literary fun.","brand":"St. Martins Press-3PL","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53690154287446,"sku":"9781250062093-G","price":11.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781250062093_1_d01008a3-cdeb-4441-a782-ebfb3f79ac34.jpg?v=1779106663","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/lesser-wendy-why-i-read-9781250062093","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
