Product Description

Review

“Brilliant…A witty and useful piece of literary sociology.”—London Review of Books

“I read and adored Pierre Bayard’s book. I t's funny, smart, and so true—a wonderful combination of slick French philosophizing and tongue-in-cheek wit, and an honest appraisal of what it means, or doesn't mean, to read.”—Claire M essud, author of The Emperor’s Children

Globe and Mail, April 7, 2007

"Brilliant ... A witty and useful piece of literary sociology, designed to bring lasting peace of mind to the scrupulous souls who grow anxious whenever the book-talk around them becomes too specific." (London Review of Books)

"Bayard goes beyond the shallow, insisting that it is possible 'to have a passionate conversation about a book that one has not read, including, perhaps especially, with someone else who has not read it.' It's a bold statement, but one that would sound controversial only to someone who has not been to university." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
