Synopsis
REVISITING HER FAVORITE BOOKS AFTER 20 OR 30 YEARS, LESSER IS STIRRED BY THE CHANGES SHE FINDS--IN THE BOOKS, IN HERSELF, AND IN THE WIDER WORLD. FROM THE ESTEEMED CULTURAL CRITIC AND JOURNALIST WENDY LESSER, NOTHING REMAINS THE SAME IS A BIBLIOPHILE S DREAM: A BOOK ABOUT THE PLEASURES AND SURPRISES OF REREADING, A WITTY, INTELLIGENT EXPLORATION OF WHAT BOOKS CAN MEAN TO OUR LIVES. COMPARED WITH READING, THE ACT OF REREADING IS FAR MORE PERSONAL -- IT INVOLVES THE INTERACTION OF OUR PAST SELVES, OUR PRESENT SELVES, AND LITERATURE. WITH CANDOR, HUMOR, AND GRACE, LESSER TAKES US ON A GUIDED TOUR OF HER OWN RETURN TO BOOKS SHE ONCE KNEW, FROM THE PLAYS OF SHAKESPEARE TO TWENTIETH-CENTURY NOVELS BY KINGSLEY AMIS AND IAN MCEWAN, FROM THE CHILDHOOD FAVORITE I CAPTURE THE CASTLE TO CLASSIC NOVELS SUCH AS ANNA KARENINA AND HUCKLEBERRY FINN, FROM NONFICTION BY HENRY ADAMS TO POETRY BY WORDSWORTH. LESSER CONVEYS AN INFECTIOUS LOVE OF READING AND INSPIRES US ALL TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THE BOOKS WE VE READ TO FIND THE UNEXPECTED TREASURES THEY MIGHT OFFER.
