"This book was originally published in French as La haine de la litterature (c) 2015 by Les Éditions de Minuit, 7, rue Bernard-Palissy, 74006 Paris."--title page verso. Translated from the French.
For 2,500 years literature has been condemned in the name of authority, truth, morality and society. But in making explicit what a society expects from literature, anti-literary discourse paradoxically asserts the validity of what it wishes to deny. The threat to literature's continued existence, William Marx writes, is not hatred but indifference.-- Provided by publisher.
