| Summary: | Strategic thinking for a writer articulates itself as dislike and as allegiance. In this wonderfully rich and diverse collection of essays, Amit Chaudhuri explores the way in which writers understand and promote their own work in antithesis to writers and movements that have gone before. Chaudhuri's criticism disproves and questions several assumptions that a serious and original artist cannot think critically in a way that matters, that criticism can't be imaginative and creative work contain radical argumentation and that a writer reflecting on their own position and practice cannot be more than a testimony of their work, but open up how we think of literary history and reading. |
