როგორ მოგეწონათ ეს წიგნი?

როგორი ხარისხისაა ეს ფაილი?

ჩატვირთეთ, ხარისხის შესაფასებლად

როგორი ხარისხისაა ჩატვირთული ფაილი?

A captivating meditation on the power of the sentence by the author of Essayism, a 2018 New Yorker book of the year.

In Suppose a Sentence, Brian Dillon, whom John Banville has called "a literary flâneur in the tradition of Baudelaire & Walter Benjamin," has written a sequel of sorts to Essayism, turning his attention to the oblique & complex pleasures of the sentence. A series of essays prompted by a single sentence--from Shakespeare to James Baldwin, John Ruskin to Joan Didion--this new book explores style, voice, & language, along with the subjectivity of reading. Both an exercise in practical criticism & a set of experiments or challenges, Suppose a Sentence is a polemical & personal reflection on the art of the sentence in literature.
