Dealing with writers such as Nabokov, Barth, Coover, Pynchon, Borges, García Márquez, Beckett, and Calvino, Annie Dillard shows why fiction <I>matters</I> and how it can reveal more of the modern world and modern thinking than all the academic sciences combined. Like Joyce Cary's <I>Art and Reality,</I> this is a book by a writer on the issues raised by the art of literature. <I>Readers of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek</I> and <I>Holy the Firm</I> will recognize Dillard's vivid writing, her humor, and the lively way in which she tackles the urgent questions of meaning in experience itself.</P> 516927 1983 Living by Fiction total:215|5:59|4:103|3:38|2:12|1:3| 215 848 347 12 4 0 false false Tue Jun 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 12:03:54 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 17:32:35 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sat May 30 09:07:06 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 09:07:06 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Feb 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Dec 29 00:08:03 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 02 07:44:36 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 1996 Thu Mar 06 10:48:11 -0800 2008 Tue Jul 14 07:57:13 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Apr 09 07:19:55 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 07:21:10 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Feb 25 15:16:19 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 15:16:50 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Mon Jun 23 11:09:02 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 23 11:12:17 -0700 2008
