E. L. Doctorow once likened narrative art to the experience of driving an unlit road at night. The author apprehends the close-distance illumination of the headlamps; everything else, he suggested, would only visualise upon encounter with mechanical luminescence, as if conjured into being by the very act of forward propulsion. This collection fits out the narrative motorway of Doctorow’s literary career with vivid overhead lighting. These essays are both transformative and illuminating, and together will serve as a definitive guide to the long journey of Doctorow’s narrative worlds.
