Suppose a Sentence - Brian Dillon
de: Brian Dillon
Publicat de: New York Review of Books
Anunta-ma cand revine pe stoc!A captivating meditation on the power of the sentence by the author of Essayism, a 2018 New Yorker book of the year . In Suppose a Sentence, Brian Dillon, whom John Banville has called "a literary fl neur in the tradition of Baudelaire and Walter Benjamin," has written a sequel of sorts to Essayism, turning his attention to the oblique and complex pleasures of the sentence. A series of essays prompted by a single sentence--from Shakespeare to James Baldwin, John Ruskin to Joan Didion--this new book explores style, voice, and language, along with the subjectivity of reading. Both an exercise in practical criticism and a set of experiments or challenges, Suppose a Sentence is a polemical and personal reflection on the art of the sentence in literature.
