Collins Reviewed in Chronicle of Higher Ed

Jim Collins's new book Bring on the Books for Everybody: How Literary Culture Became Popular Culture is featured in the Chronicle of Higher Education's "Nota Bene" section this week. Nina Ayoub says the book is "a lively study that moves from strip mall to television to the multiplex to virtual reading communities." Collins takes on book superstores, Amazon.com, Oprah, and Merchant-Ivory film adaptations of novels in his book, an engaging assessment of the robust popular literary culture that has developed in the United States during the past two decades.
