Free Download Neatness Counts: Essays on the Writer's Desk By Kevin Kopelson
2004 | 182 Pages | ISBN: 0816644012 | PDF | 2 MB
In Neatness Counts, Kevin Kopelson reflects on the poetics of the desk - rolltop or bureau plat, cluttered or bare, the nest-like desk, the schematic desk, the dramatic desk, the dramatic lack of any such furniture. Exploring the topography of literary creation by way of the topography of work space, Kopelson, one of today's most important critics, offers a series of meditations on how orderliness, chaos, and other physical states correspond with both the exhilaration of production and the desperation of writer's block.
