"Wonderfully responsive, careful but by no means reverential discussion of some of Hillis' leading preoccupations and their lasting implications. The book is especially useful in its analysis of the ethics of reading, of various shades of irony, and, most generally, of what happens when we read and write about what we love." - James R. Kincaid, Aerol Arnold Professor of English, University of Southern California, USA. "A striking and enduring transcript of what goes right when critical penetration and devotion find inspiring philosophical paradigms, auratic cultural artifacts, and a cadre of brilliant co-equals in the collective programming of critical rigor." - Henry Sussman, Visiting Professor of Germanic Languages and Literatures, Yale University, USA"
