Bluff Your Way in Literature

Mehr zum Buch

Bluffing about literature is largely facilitated by the fact that almost everyone, even the most educated, engages in it, as there is little else one can do with it. Literature is simply too vast a field for any single person to encompass, and each week it expands with new books that follow the old in an endless stream. With some practice, you will find that the very vagueness that frustrates literary criticism for casual readers is your greatest asset. This inherent ambiguity allows for easy and rapid redefinition of concepts and shifting of focal points, which can extricate you from any predicament.
