The Solitary Vice

Meer over het boek

Exploring the complex relationship between reading and self-discovery, Brottman challenges the conventional wisdom that reading is merely a beneficial pastime. Instead, she likens it to a solitary vice that fosters personal exploration and empathy, allowing readers to experience diverse perspectives and navigate their own inner worlds. By questioning the societal pressure to promote reading as a life-saving activity, the book invites readers to reconsider the significance of literature in their lives, highlighting its intricate blend of fantasy and introspection.
