Through a professional story-teller's sometimes humorous commentary on culture and literature from 'The Odyssey' on, the book suggests that literature is not an artifact to be studied but a living process. Often irreverent, crossing literary and scholarly lines, Penn aims to discover what literature does for an imaginatively engaged reader.
