display_description Focuses on how we use literature to gain deeper self-awareness. Poems, stories, novels, plays and parables are all analyzed as forms of writing as immersion, the language of individuality and inwardness. Bloom also addresses the idea of why we read: increased individuality, respite from visual bombardment, and a return to "deep feeling" and "deep thinking".
