Overview
Overview
Perhaps the most prolific and exacting reader of his generation, Garrett Stewart offers here a first: a book of essays on close analysis, joined by a new interview that zooms in and out to account for the range and delicacy of his critical acumen.
Garrett Stewart is known for his important interventions across a number of fields, including philosophy, screen studies, and literary theory. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2010 and winner of the International Society for the Study of Narrative's prize for the best book on narrative for Novel Violence (2009), he draws on these varied fields in his narratological readings. Closer Reading, like Stewart's work more broadly, offers close analyses of novels, literary theory, cinema, and conceptual art, including chapters on Charles Dickens, Francis Ford Coppola, Stanley Cavell, and John le Carré. This gives readers a single volume that covers a broad range of topics and demonstrates a sustained rethinking of the value of close reading as a methodology. Featuring full-length essays, including important early publications and accompanied by an entirely fresh interview with David LaRocca, Closer Reading provides a deep and satisfying survey of and immersion in Garrett Stewart's amazing oeuvre.- Format: Hardcover
