reviewed Reading by Starlight on April 12, 2013 Reading by Starlight
A bit post-apocalypse light, I'm afraid: Heffernan's choice of texts for analysis are not especially illuminating. I was looking for more on the actual narratives and literary texts of post-apocalyptic settings. I got 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' instead.
A bit heavy on the commas, too. Blech.
