Descriptions, Reviews, etc.

Description: People's Choice Literature presents two novels based on a nationwide poll about literary taste--one featuring the story elements Americans most desire and another containing everything Americans despise.

Review Quotes: Extremity can remind us of what draws us to unwantedness--indeed, to reading in general--in the first place. Books that operate in the unwanted mode invite us into "levels of thought and feeling" that are beyond "business as usual," have the power to carve out in us a space that makes room for something entirely new. This is reading's complicated gift to us.-- "Mid Theory Collective"
