D.J. Enright, eminent poet and critic, has here collected a broad range of cultural essays covering literature, language, and television. He begins by surveying our daily diet of television, from adaptations of classics through highly addictive soap operas to talk shows and commercials. The second section focuses on literature, specifically on works that do not lend themselves to screen adaptation, and on writers such as G???nter Grass and Isaac Bashevis Singer.
