Detalhes da ObraEssayism: On Form, Feeling, and Nonfiction de Brian Dillon
   Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Very enjoyable; Dillon writes well and with intelligence about books, and himself. It probably helps that I enjoy many of the same writers, and that I know a bit about what he's discussing, but at worst this is a good book to get if you want good reading suggestions, or if you're interested in the essay as a form.

"Essayism is a book about essays and essayists, a study of melancholy and depression, a love letter to belle-lettrists, and an account of the indispensable lifelines of reading and writing. Brian Dillon's style incorporates diverse features of the essay. By turns agglomerative, associative, digressive, curious, passionate, and dispassionate, his is a branching book of possibilities, seeking consolation and direction from Michel de Montaigne, Virginia Woolf, Roland Barthes, Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Georges Perec, Elizabeth Hardwick, and Susan Sontag, to name just a few of his influences. Whether he is writing on origins, aphorisms, coherence, vulnerability, anxiety, or a number of other subjects, his command of language, his erudition, and his own personal history serve not so much to illuminate or magnify the subject as to discover it anew through a kaleidoscopic alignment of attention, thought, and feeling, a dazzling and momentary suspension of disparate elements, again and again"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
