Review Quotes: "Through perceptive and elegant close readings, Larkin proposes a self-reflexive reading practice that is inventive and attentive to ethical questions across disciplines. Pointing to the mistake scholars often make in thinking that the humanities exist to 'make more ethical' the 'objective' natural sciences, she demonstrates a more entangled relationship." --Paula M. L. Moya author of The Social Imperative: Race, Close Reading, and Contemporary Literary Criticism
