Lingering and its decried equivalents, such as dawdling, idling,
loafing, or lolling about, are both shunned and coveted in our
culture where time is money and where there is never quite enough
of either. Is lingering lazy? Is it childish? Boring? Do poets
linger? (Is that why poetry is boring?) Is it therapeutic? Should
we linger more? Less? What happens when we linger? Harold Schweizer
here examines an experience of time that, though common, usually
passes unnoticed. Drawing on a wide range of philosophic and
literary texts and examples, On Lingering and Literature
exemplifies in its style and accessible argumentation the new genre
of post-criticism, and aims to reward anyone interested in slow
reading, daydreaming, or resisting our culture of speed and
consumption.
