Description

In "Reading Games," Kimberly Bohman-Kalaja guides us through an entertaining and instructive exploration of a neglected genre of post-modernism, the Play-Text.

Pioneered by authors such as Flann O'Brien, Samuel Beckett, and Georges Perec, Bohman-Kalaja's book provides a fresh interpretive approach to understanding the Play-Text.Providing insightful analysis of the game and play theories, and drawing from a wide range of ideas--from the thinking of the great philosophers to basic chess and poker strategies--Reading Games makes the world of experimental fiction accessible by unraveling, step-by-step, the innovative strategies of those authors who play reading games.
