Book Description
The Problem of Reading is a limited edition book published by Documents Books with an essay by Moyra Davey and photographs by Davey, JoAnn Verburg, and James Welling.
What is the most gratifying form of reading? Is it the reading of total absorption we may remember from childhood, done face down on the bed "in the fading light behind closed doors"? Or is it the kind that "imposes a state of loss, discomforts, unsettles, brings to a crisis [the reader's] relation to language," the reading done with "pen & notebook," the more demanding pleasure that implies a connection to writing and to creative work? Davey's essay mediates the question "How should we read?" through writings on reading by over a dozen authors from Lynne Sharon Schwartz, Roland Barthes, and Virginia Woolf quoted above, to Georges Perec, Franz Kafka, Italo Calvino, Walter Benjamin, and Stephen King.
48 pages, four-color reproductions, 7 1/2 x 5 3/8 inch.
