THE SEDUCTIVE POWER OF LITERATUREPhil Harrison

Phil Harrison challenges the reader to become seduced by literature, recognising the ability of reading to transform our understanding and appreciation of the world. The transformative power of good literature, he argues, involves the breaking down of our internal barrier to see ourselves in a new light. Only then, are we able to encounter the ‘other’ and appreciate a collective sense of freedom.
