Description
Elaine Castillo's How to Read Now is a thought-provoking exploration of the politics and ethics of reading. She argues that our relationship with literature can be more than just a personal preference, but also a way to engage with our shared histories and cultures.
The book challenges common assumptions about reading and its role in society, taking aim at issues like settler colonialism and the representation of diverse voices in literature. Castillo's own reading life is woven throughout the narrative, offering a deeply personal and searching history of how she came to understand the power of reading.
Ultimately, How to Read Now invites readers to rethink their approach to reading and to consider its potential to ignite new connections, spark empathy, and foster a more nuanced understanding of ourselves and others.
