Readings Reading

After learning to read, all Pinocchio can do is repeat textbook words like a parrot. He absorbs the words on the page but does not digest them: the books are not truly his because, even at the end of his adventures, he is still incapable of applying them to his experience of himself and the world.

What does a creative reading look like, where experience enriches and transforms books, and books enrich and transform personal experience? Readings Reading is exactly the answer to this question. Many familiar faces, from Che Guevara to Borges, and many books from the Iliad to Alice in Wonderland, come to life again in Manguel's readings and sincere and provocative comments.
