"No vices are so hard to eradicate as those which are popularly regarded as virtues. Among these the vice of reading is foremost."
A great American novelist offers a scathing attack on the worst kinds of reading. Edith Wharton argues that the growing cultural influence of "mechanical" readers is having a disastrous impact on the world of letters. A subtly devastating work of social criticism, The Vice of Reading is also a celebration of the voracious and amoral consumption that marks out the very best readers. Eris Gems make available in the form of beautifully produced saddle-stitched booklets a series of outstanding short works of fiction and non-fiction.Languages:EnglishPublisher:ErisISBN-13:9781912475773ISBN-10:1912475774UPC:9781912475773Book Category:Literary CollectionsBook Subcategory:EssaysSize:7.40 x 4.10 x 0.30 inchesWeight:0.2Product ID:SC690K35D4
