Essays centering around the idea of Amazon and its effects on our consciousness, specifically literary consciousness and readerly consciousness (the reader as consumer). I found it too dense for my taste/interested in things I’m not interested in (e.g. the modern realist novel), but interesting to see someone unite a kind of survey of ordinary works in general fiction with reflections on the economic conditions producing them. ( ) A short book,but dense and aimed at readers with an understanding of theories of literay criticism. The author starts from the some of same observations of other writers (e.g. John Thompson in Book Wars) on that the Interet tech platforms including Google and Amazon have done to bookstores and publishing - They have taken the revenue and has done nothing for content creators (except a few writers of romances, science fiction and mysteries & thrillers. The author focuses on Amazon's inability to create memorable and engaging content. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"In Everything and Less, acclaimed critic Mark McGurl discovers a dynamic scene of literary experimentation in an unlikely location: in the realms of self-publishing created by Amazon. Reclaiming several works of self-published fiction from the abyss of critical disregard, McGurl offers a Copernican revolution in the world of letters: rather than giving central importance to the critically lionized highbrows-Colson Whitehead, Don DeLillo, Elena Ferrante, and Amitav Ghosh, among others-he discovers that their fiction orbits countless unknown authors forging a career through untraditional means"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
