I wasn't actually planning to add this book here as I was only planning to return to it sporadically to read some chapters here and there, so it’s a bit of a hassle having it on my Currently Reading shelf. This shelf tends to become quite a long list that gives me some sort of anxiety as is.
But I’ve just finished the second chapter and wanted to capture it here for anyone who has ever been interested in reading a bit more on the topic of literary theory. It's a page turner and really accessible. I am using it alongside Open Yale’s Course - Introduction to Theory of Literature by Paul H. Fry which is pretty dense (for me at least). This makes it much easier to relate the concepts discussed in the lectures to more contemporary examples as well as reading some more accessible approach to the same theoretical questions.
