Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. First edition, 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "A professor, critic, and insatiable reader, Jenny Davidson investigates the passions that drive us to fall in love with certain sentences over others and the larger…implications of our relationship with writing style. At once playful and serious, immersive and analytic, her book shows how style elicits particular kinds of moral judgments and subjective preferences that turn reading into a highly personal and political act. Melding her experiences as reader and critic, Davidson opens new vistas onto works by Jane Austen, Henry James, Marcel Proust, and Thomas Pynchon; adds richer dimension to critiques of W. G. Sebald, Alan Hollinghurst, Thomas Bernhard, and Karl Ove Knausgaard; and allows for a sophisticated appreciation of popular fictions by Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Lionel Shriver, George Pelecanos, and Helen DeWitt. She privileges diction, syntax, point of view, and structure over plot and character, identifying the intimate mechanics that draw us in to literature's sensual frameworks and move us to feel, identify, and relate. Davidson concludes with a reading list of her favorite titles so others can share in her literary adventures and get to know better the imprint of her own reading style." [jacket copy] "This book restores the priority of the sentence to literary-critical reading. It seeks to elevate the sentence as a unit of reading, in order to return us to an immediate attachment to the feeling of literary prose--and the forms of thinking done in prose, and the techniques of art that make up prose as brushstrokes and pigments do painting."--Mark Greif, The New School. "Jenny Davidson has the rare gift of being warmly analytical--highly intelligent but never mandarin, authoritative and intimate at the same time. Reading her discussions of writers ranging from Marcel Proust to Wayne Koestenbaum--by way of Jonathan Lethem and George Eliot--is like being in the company of a very clever friend as she unfolds the treasures of her bookshelf. I loved being in her company on the page, and left it inspired by her appetitive example."--Rebecca Mead, author of My Life in Middlemarch. "Davidson is the ideal reader every writer wishes for, who catches every nuance and every sly allusion, who is alive to rhythm and color and orchestration. She does not just read for that ostensibly load-bearing stuff that is labeled 'meaning,' but detects all of the layers of meaning that are conveyed purely by style. Her book is a gift and a deep pleasure, because what makes her such a virtuoso reader is that she is also a first-rate writer."--Lucy Sante, author of Low Life. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, extensive Notes, Index & Reading List, all wrapped in a beautiful jacket.
