Exloring how authors' choices about structure, point of view, narrative voice, first page, chapter construction, character emblems, and narrative (dis)continuity, create meaning and a special literary language, "How to Read Novels Like a Professor" shares the keys to this language with readers who want to get more insight, more understanding, and more pleasure from their reading.
