| Publisher Description: By conducting "imagined dialogues" between selected literary works--Eastern Europeans like Kis and Borowski on one hand, American and English writers like Cage and Ishiguro on the other--this book proposes an effective new way of reading literature, one that goes beyond the narrowing categories of contemporary critical trends. A new perspective on each of the works emerges, as well as a heightened sense of the liberating power of literature. |
