For much too long now, a literary work, once completed, has been
viewed as having a separate existence, no longer under the author's
control, and so left open to a variety of responses, regardless of
how widely variable, or even contradictory, they might prove to be.
However, that misguided approach simply ignores the fact that the
three authors, in each case, have maintained a strong controlling
presence within their completed works, a pervasive presence that is
clearly revealed through the meticulous crafting we can discover
throughout each work. The Art of Literary Thieving invites its
readers to follow in the clearly marked footsteps of these three
classic authors, as each of them crafts his materials into one of
the world's truly exceptional literary experiences. The close, and
as yet undiscovered, relationship that exists between these three
works offers readers a more revealing light that shines forth from
each of them upon the other two, bringing a greater clarity to
these always challenging literary creations. That relationship also
helps to highlight the detailed crafting within each work that has
been meticulously designed, in each case, to guide the reader to
the author's ultimate goal: a vibrant, imaginative experience,
imbued with meaning and emotion, that the author wishes to share
with the reader. The three authors, without question, have each
succeeded in reaching that goal. And they also remain, within their
works, ready to show their readers how to join them. This is an
important book for all literature collections.
