reviewed A Sense of Things: The Object Matter of American Literature on May 24, 2018 A Sense of Things: The Object Matter of American Literature
I found this book to be quite useful, thoughtful, and charming. The ideas he pulls together here and applies provide a very useful blueprint for the literary scholar (or at least a baby literary scholar like myself) interested in applying new materialisms to literary studies. The readings of novels he gives us are positively lovely. Furthermore, (speaking again as a baby literary scholar) I was really struck by the readibility, efficiency, and liveliness of his style. This work will serve me well I think as I work on crafting my own style in the future.
