Janice Radway traces the history of the famous mail-order book club from its controversial founding in 1926 through its evolution into an enterprise uniquely successful in blending commerce and culture. Framing her historical narrative with writing of a more personal sort, Radway reflects on the contemporary role of the Book-of-the-Month Club in American cultural history and in her own life. Her detailed account of the standards and practices employed by the clubs in-house editors is also an absorbing story of her interactions with those editors. Examining her experiences as a fourteen-year-old reader of the clubs selections and, later, as a professor of literature, she offers a series of rigorously analytical yet deeply personal readings of such beloved novels as Marjorie Morningstar and To Kill a Mockingbird. Rich and rewarding, this book will captivate and delight anyone who is interested in the history of books and in the personal and transformative experience of reading....2957055A Feeling for Books545574https://www.gandhi.com.mx/a-feeling-for-books-9780807863978/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3403176/ba14d930-b8e3-47d0-bcf6-32f024357a9e.jpg?v=638385324579770000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20009780807863978_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_Deftly melding ethnography, cultural history, literary criticism, and autobiographical reflection, A Feeling for Books is at once an engaging study of the Book-of-the-Month Clubs influential role as a cultural institution and a profoundly personal meditation about the experience of reading.
