A Reader on Reading
Alberto Manguel
Argues that the activity of reading, in its broadest sense, defines our species. This title explores the crafts of reading and writing, the identity granted to us by literature, the far-reaching shadow of Jorge Luis Borges, to whom the author read as a young man, and the links between politics and books and between books and our bodies.
