      By Socken, Paul, 1945-
       2013., Adult, McGill-Queen's University Press Call No: 809.911 S678e    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Can a case be made for reading literature in the digital age? Does literature still matter in this era of instant information? Is it even possible to advocate for serious, sustained reading with all manner of social media distracting us, fragmenting our concentration, and demanding short, rapid communication? In The Edge of the Precipice, Paul Socken brings together a thoughtful group of writers, editors, philosophers, librarians, archivists, and literary critics from Canada, the US, France, England, South Africa, and Australia to contemplate the state of literature in the twenty-first century."--Back cover.
