This book explores some of the ways in which we think about reading and the effects reading has on us. It gives a literary critic's approach to the scene of reading understood from a psychoanalytic perspective. Whether considered as a process, a representation, or a cultural activity, reading involves the idea of inner and outer, absence and boundaries, and the transmission of thoughts and feelings between one person or historical period to another.
