description: The author exposes the whole notion of "literary theory" and challenges conventional concepts of critical method. Sharratt questions the validity of reading literature at all, especially in a political climate which he sees to be in a state of crisis. He argues that what literature has to offer is not a mode of political persuasion, but a way of thinking about contemporary life in all its labyrinthine manifestations.
