Quotation Marks (Paperback)

In this new book of essays, brilliant cultural critic Marjorie Garber turns to the history of words, great writers, everyday speech, and the painted image to spin tales about the way we live. Written with characteristic verve, Quotation Marks considers, among other subjects, how we depend on the most quotable men and women in history to bolster what we have to say. What does morality have to do with style? What's the difference between work and 'work'? What do we admire and what do we imitate, and what does either have to do with love? Why are sequels so enticing, she asks?
Reading these essays is to experience the pleasure of watching a remarkable critic grapple with the curious and the everyday, and make both speak to the question between the quotation marks: 'Who are we now?'
