Sinopse
Características

It is only in childhood that books have any deep influence on our lives--Graham GreeneThe luminous books of our childhood will remain the luminous books of our lives.--Joyce Carol OatesWriters, as they often attest, are deeply influenced by their childhood reading. Salman Rushdie, for example, has said that The Wizard of Oz made a writer of me. Twice-Told Tales is a collection of essays on the way the works of adult writers have been influenced by their childhood reading. This fascinating volume includes theoretical essays on Salman Rushdie and the Oz books, Beauty and the Beast retold as Jane Eyre, the childhood reading of Jorge Luis Borges, and the remnants of nursery rhymes in Sylvia Plaths poetry. It is supplemented with a number of brief commentaries on childrens books by major creative writers, including Maxine Hong Kingston and Maxine Kumin.
