Austen's Powers
Our guest, literary critic William Deresiewicz, was once a cynical graduate student, pursuing his Ph.D. in English literature. At the time he preferred the stuff of the muscular literary giants: Joyce, Faulkner, Conrad.
Jane Austen was just frivolous --the fluffy stuff of costume dramas-- but all that changed when we was assigned Emma. He documents the great transformation in his new book: A Jane Austen Education: How Six Novels Taught Me About Love, Friendship, and the Things That Really Matter.
