The Practice of Reading

Distinguished critic Denis Donoghue here provides a sustained conversation about the nature and importance of literary interpretation, arguing that we must read texts closely and imaginatively, rather than merely theorizing about them. Discussing texts that range from Shakespeares plays to a novel by Cormac McCarthy, Donoghue demonstrates what serious and informed reading entails.
