The Chicago Blog: The Audacity of Literary Studies

Not "why teach literary criticism or literary theory or literary history" but "teach literature," a phrase that compounds subject matter and discipline, rather as if economics were called money, mathematics were called numbers, or history were called the human past

John Green: A Speech I Wrote for the ALAN Conference...

I want to talk today about my new book, and I also want to talk about a book I wish I'd written: M. T.

BookGlutton

Our intent: build an experience that is simultaneously a book group, a computer, and a book. We believe firmly that people want to read, annotate and discuss, right there, immersed in the text.

Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio - Nobel Lecture

Why do we write? I imagine that each of us has his or her own response to this simple question. One has predispositions, a milieu, circumstances. Shortcomings, too.

We're Teaching Books That Don't Stack Up

As much as I hate to admit it, all too often it's English teachers like me -- as able and well-intentioned as we may be -- who close down teen interest in reading.
