. . . literature, criticism, and reality. . .,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sacrificing Commentary: Reading the End of Literature (Hardcover)
Goodhart's book contains brilliant insight into the relationships that exist between literature, literary criticism, and cultural reality (particularly the myths that are at play within culture). Sacrificing Commentary leads the reader to explore the relationships that exist between these three interconnected realms and in doing so engages the individual that is concious of his/her own relation to reading, writing, and just plain existing within a culture. The notion that criticism works to instill the very same myths that literature destroys is just one of the avenues that Goodhart's book travels that has been particularly engaging for me personally. Those readers not interested in examining their entire view of writing, reading, and existence will not enjoy this book; to all others I highly recommend Sacrificing Commentary.
