The Ulysses Delusion: Rethinking Standards of Literary Merit | Cecilia Konchar Farr

3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

Literary professors, and academia in general, have a history of turning a blind eye against popular fiction but why? The Ulysses Delusion explores this question by linking this literary condescension to a wider discussion on the gendered history of reading novels. Topics include Oprah's Book Club, Harry Potter, and Chick Lit.

Ulysses Delusion: Rethinking Standards of Literary Merit (2015) | Cecilia Konchar Farr

Do those lists of 100 books every smart person should read drive you crazy? This book examines why and how we should reevaluate the canon. Besides that, it's just plain fun.
