關於產品
Product Information
Phyllis Rose, after a career of reading from syllabuses and writing about canonical books, decided to read like an explorer. She "wanted to sample, more democratically, the actual ground of literature." Casting herself into the untracked wilderness of the New York Society Library's stacks, she chose a shelf of fiction almost at random and read her way through it. Unsure of what she would find, she was nonetheless certain "that no one in the history of the world had read exactly this series of novels." What results is a spirited experiment in "Off-Road or Extreme Reading." Rose's shelf of roughly thirty books has everything she could wish for--a remarkable variety of authors and a range of literary ambitions and styles. The early-nineteenth-century Russian classic A Hero of Our Time by Mikhail Lermontov is spine by spine with The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. Stories of French Canadian farmers sit beside tales about aristocratic Austrians. California detective novels abut a novel from an Afrikaans writer who fascinates Rose to the extent that she ends up watching a YouTube video of his funeral. Curious about the life of writers across a broad spectrum of time and space, with a keen interest in the challenges for literary women, Rose occasionally follows her reading with personal encounters. One of her favorite discoveries is the contemporary American novelist Rhoda Lerman, in whom she believes that she has found an unrecognized Grace Paley--"another funny feminist humane earth-mother Jewish writer." But Lerman, who becomes a friend, turns out to be not "another" anything: in addition to writing she now raises prizewinning Newfoundlands and "talks of champion canines with the reverence I reserve for Alice Munro." A joyous testament to the thrill of engagement with books high and low, The Shelf leaves us with the feeling that there are treasures to be found on every library or bookstore shelf. Rose investigates her own discoveries with exuberance, candor, and wit while exploring and relishing the centripetal nature of reading in the Internet age. Measuring her finds against her own inner shelf--those texts that accompany her through life--she creates an original and generous portrait of the literary enterprise.

Reviews
"Simple but radical." -Elizabeth Taylor, Chicago Tribune "Rose is consistently generous, knowledgeable, and chatty, with a knack for connecting specific incidents to large social trends." -Christine Smallwood, The New Yorker "Immensely appealing . . . In encouraging us to be more independent thinkers, less swayed by convention and the critical consensus, more empathetic and open-minded, her book teaches us much about how to approach life as it does about how to read books . . . Irresistible." -Priscilla Gilman, Boston Globe "Readers of ' The Shelf' will feel befriended." -John Williams, The New York Times "It's thrilling to see, in The Shelf , the happenstance and whimsy that sprang from a random grab bag of books. And the vastness of possibility those books (good or bad) possess is a terrific match for the vastness of Rose's intelligence, which swerves from scholarly to oddball, and from sophisticated to fun." -Diane Mehta, Bookforum "A seasoned, open-minded, and passionate reader, inquisitive thinker, and delectably lucid and witty writer, Rose rallies readers to affirm our love of literature and libraries." -Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review)"If the world's greatest librarian held hands with the greatest English teacher you ever had and they led you into the middle of the Forest of Literature, Phyllis Rose's The Shelf would be right there, waiting for you. The Shelf is an exceptional, goofy, erudite, deeply thoughtful, and completely enchanting foray into the world of books. As Grace Paley said in another context, you'll learn something." -Amy Bloom, author of Away "Phyllis Rose calls her irresistibly charming journey through the LEQLES shelf an experiment in Off-Road Reading. But the lesson I drew from it was that no matter what bookish road you take, whether it's a superhighway or a bumpy track that requires the literary equivalent of four-wheel drive, you're bound to enjoy the scenery if you're as interesting a reader as Rose." -Anne Fadiman, author of Ex Libris and At Large and At Small "In her brilliant and original The Shelf , Phyllis Rose proves how much you can learn about yourself and the world　just by reading any book you come across and　thinking seriously about it." -Alison Lurie, Pulitzer Prizewinning author of Foreign Affairs " The Shelf is a surprising and wonderful book-a magnificent treat!" -Alexander McCall Smith, author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series"It's always a pleasure to read Phyllis Rose. She ignites our imagination with her own intellectual curiosity, encouraging us to read widely and take chances." -Judy Blume, author of Summer Sisters "Exhilarating, adventurous, original-Phyllis Rose's The Shelf is a reminder of what reading and writing are all about." -Azar Nafisi, author of Reading Lolita in Tehran, Phyllis Rose calls her irresistibly charming journey through the LEQ-LES shelf an experiment in Off-Road Reading. But the lesson I drew from it was that no matter what bookish road you take, whether it's a superhighway or a bumpy track that requires the literary equivalent of four-wheel drive, you're bound to enjoy the scenery if you're as interesting a reader as Rose., Praise for The Year of Reading Proust "Crisply written, disarmingly frank and self-critical, rich in felicitous turns and well-told episodes. Many sentences sparkle." -Victor Brombert, The New York Times Book Review Praise for Parallel Lives "[A] brilliant and original book." -Anatole Broyard, The New York Times, Exhilarating, adventurous, original--Phyllis Rose's The Shelf is a reminder of what reading and writing are all about., "Simple but radical." -- Elizabeth Taylor, Chicago Tribune "Rose is consistently generous, knowledgeable, and chatty, with a knack for connecting specific incidents to large social trends." -- Christine Smallwood, The New Yorker "Immensely appealing . . .
