Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is a collection of essays, mostly on living novelists, some of whose books raise points of interpretation which directly relate to the question of what authors are for those who read them. At the centre of the book is a concern for the memorial writings of Louisa Stuart (1757-1851) and Primo Levi. There is a discussion of recent authorial crises and case-histories, and a last essay on literary journalism based on the experience of editing the "London Review of Books" in the course of its first ten years.
