READERS, WRITERS AND BOOKS
Course Description
Literary Interpretation Course. "The Bibliophile is the master of his books, the bibliomaniac their slave" (Hanns Bohatta, German Bibliographer). Where does the obsession for the book as physical object intersect with the drive to create literature, and to read it? What is the nature of the author's urge to put experience into print or the reader's urge to experience through print? This course explores these questions and others by reading works across a range of literary genres and by reading accounts of the evolution of the modern book.
