A liberal arts education in a nutshell, this slim guide attempts to explain how to comprehend and analyze works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry and philosophy. Written for those who have not yet mastered reading at the high school level--or for actual idiots--the text describes in the simplest terms possible literary devices, genres, and the difference between objectivity and subjectivity.
