Recenzii
[A] fresh, compelling account of the forms of attention reading can foster . [a] thoughtful study.
In her careful readings of works (nonfiction as well as fiction) by David Foster Wallace, Joshua Cohen, Ali Smith, Tom McCarthy, Zadie Smith, and Ben Lerner, Bennett identifies the stylistic techniques and broad array of topics that these authors have employed to highlight attention itself as a major subject in contemporary letters. Ideally, readers will leave this book with a renewed interest in these authors, as well as a respect for the importance of paying attention to attention in reading practices. Summing Up: Highly recommended.
[P]aying attention to the texture and rhythm of your own reading alongside Bennett's arguments makes for a surprisingly refreshing and generative reading experience.
