Rereadings: Seventeen Writers Revisit Books They Love
Is a book the same book - or a reader the same reader - the second time around? The seventeen authors in this witty and poignant collection of essays all agree on the answer: Never.
These essays are not conventional literary criticism; they are about relationships. Rereadings reveal at least as much about the reader as about the book: each is a miniature memoir that focuses on that most interesting of topics, the protean nature of love. And as every bibliophile knows, no love is more life-changing than the love of a book.
