The word \u003ci\u003eunderstanding\u003c\/i\u003e in the series titles was deliberately chosen. Many willing readers lack an adequate understanding of how contemporary literature works: that is, what the author is attempting to express and the means by which it is conveyed. These volumes provide instruction in how to read certain contemporary writers--identifying and explicating their material, themes, use of language, point of view, structures, symbolism, and responses to experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0872495256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780872495258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of South Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.54d","brand":"Greg Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44063446237439,"sku":"9780872495258","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_67dbc7dd-b6a2-4de6-bab5-221186c7cbd8.jpg?v=1685389599","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-joyce-carol-oates-greg-johnson-9780872495258","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
