Description
Tone is a collaborative study of literary tone, a notoriously challenging and slippery topic for criticism. The Committee to Investigate Atmosphere explores the atmospheres emanating from texts by various authors, attending to the chafing of political irritation, the hunger of precarious work, and the lonely delights of urban walks. This study treats a variety of questions: how is tone filtered through translation? Can a text hold the feelings that pass between humans and animals? By searching and conversational approaches, Tone seeks immersion in literary affect to convey the experience of reading - and living - together.
