Sobre este artículo
Dillard, Annie. Living By Fiction. New York: Harper & Row, 1982. First Printing of the First US Edition. ISBN: 0060149604. A Fine copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Living by Fiction is written for--and dedicated to--people who love literature. Dealing with writers such as Nabokov, Barth, Coover, Pynchon, Borges, García Márquez, Beckett, and Calvino, Annie Dillard shows why fiction matters and how it can reveal more of the modern world and modern thinking than all the academic sciences combined. Like Joyce Cary's Art and Reality, this is a book by a writer on the issues raised by the art of literature. Readers of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and Holy the Firm will recognize Dillard's vivid writing, her humor, and the lively way in which she tackles the urgent questions of meaning in experience itself. In "Living By Fiction" Dillard shows how contemporary fiction develops the most interesting trends in 20th Century thinking.
