Debates rage over what kind of literature we should read, what is good and bad literature, and whether in the global, digital age, literature even has a future. But what exactly is literature? Why should we read literature? How do we read literature? These are some of the important questions J. Hillis Miller answers in this beautifully written and passionate book. He begins by asking what literature is, arguing that the answer lies in literature's ability to create an imaginary world simply with words. He describes how his early reading of The Swiss Family Robinson and Robinson Crusoe as a child led him to this view. He then discusses several famous writers who have used literature in this way, from Dostoevsky, Trollope, Proust and Henry James to Maurice Blanchot, Jacques Derrida and J. M. Coetzee. On Literature also asks the crucial question of why literature has such authority over us. Returning to Plato, Aristotle and the Bible, J. Hillis Miller argues we should continue to read literature because it is part of our basic human need to create imaginary worlds and to have stories. Above all, On Literature is a plea that we continue to read and care about literature.

我真的很佩服中国这些图书编辑们凑热闹、瞎参合的精神头,这本原名为“On Literature”直译为“关于文学”的书硬是生生被换成了“文学死了吗”这么一个耸人听闻的大标题,一幅唯恐天下不乱,幸灾乐祸的样子。 在我看来,“文学死了吗”是个彻头彻尾的伪命题,一群根本不懂文学...
评分《文学死了吗》这本书,顾名思义,便可知道主要为我们揭示的便是文学死不死即文学存不存在的问题。它主要是从几个方面为我们一点点道开来的,先大体介绍了什么是文学,文学是虚拟现实,文学的秘密,接着概述为什么阅读文学,最后说明如何阅读文学以及如何比较地阅读文学。这是...
