"Guillory privileges close reading as an epistemological practice: Critics interpret texts to add to our store of knowledge. But in so doing, he makes another elision, here of aesthetics. Epistemology is, after all, only half of what makes a close reading work."

I’m a John Ganz fan, and I am trained in close reading. Very worthwhile if you don’t want to subject yourself to the actual books, which DT didn’t write himself of course. I prefer reading text to podcasts, and the article came in text form in the last issue of the Nation, but I haven’t figured out how to share it other than this link to the site. Ganz doesn’t mention the film The Apprentice, where Sebastian Stan’s performance illuminates these insights.
