ISBN: 9780060149604.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiving by Fiction is written for--and dedicated to--people who love literature. Dealing with writers such as Nabokov, Barth, Coover, Pynchon, Borges, García Márquez, Beckett, and Calvino, Annie Dillard shows why fiction matters and how it can reveal more of the modern world and modern thinking than all the academic sciences combined. Like Joyce Carys Art and Reality, this is a book by a writer on the issues raised by the art of literature. Readers of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and Holy the Firm will recognize Dillards vivid writing, her humor, and the lively way in which she tackles the urgent questions of meaning in experience itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harper \u0026 Row","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966645071925,"sku":"ByrdShop_0060149604","price":59.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780060149604_0e4cc3c1-5f78-47e8-8853-794353891470.jpg?v=1781288001","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/living-by-fiction-9780060149604","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
