Throughout the book, Klaus exhibits passion and deep knowledge for the essay form; he brings considerable understanding, and is willing to show his own weaknesses - which lays at the heart of much modern essay writing. Occassionally, I think he over-quotes, which feels less about showing off, more padding, almost needing to justify my the form is worthwhile. My favourite chapter is the re-reading of Orwell's "A Hanging"; the weakest "A Self for All Seasons" (which might well be the impact of coming so late in the book). All in all, an excellent series of perspectives in a much-maligned literate form. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

He develops this key idea by explaining how structure, style, and voice determine the nature of a persona and our perception of it in the works of such essayist Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
