{"product_id":"9781250062093","title":"Why I Read","description":"\u003cp\u003eWendy Lesser's extraordinary alertness, intelligence, and curiosity have made her one of America's most significant cultural critics, writes Stephen Greenblatt. In Whyl Read, Lesser draws on a lifetime of pleasure reading and decades of editing to describe a life lived in and through literature. As Lesser examines work from such perspectives as Character and Plot, Novelty, Grandeur and Intimacy, and Authority, the reader will discover a definition of literature that is as broad as it is broad-minded. In addition to novels and stories, Lesser explores plays, poems, and essays, along with mysteries, science fiction, and memoirs. Her passion for reading is infectious - and it resonates on every page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wendy Lesser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52684757958974,"sku":"9781250062093","price":522.53,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9781250062093.jpg?v=1764858428","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781250062093","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
