Book Description:

This study seeks to alter our understanding of Keller's realism by problematizing the act of reading within fiction. The story of reading in Keller's fiction is a self-conscious meditation on the schism between life and its literary representation - and it emphasizes the incapacity of that representation to influence the life it is based on.
