Beskrivning

Wiles asks why literary events appeal and matter to people, and how they can transform the ways in which fiction is received and valued. Wiles’s experiential literary ethnography represents an innovative and vital contribution, not just to literary research, but to research into the value of cultural experience across art forms.
