Recenzje

»Overall, this volume offers a prominent, holistic reframing of many familiar critical tropes to the scholar interested in short story criticism and literary history, and is certainly one of the fullest works to date focused on the cognitive work of the genre.« Andrew Levy, ALH Online Review, 27 (2022) »As it stands, An Organon of Life Knowledge is a well-balanced, theoretically well-informed and critically insightful monograph that opens new ground in the field of short story theory and criticism. We need more books like this oneto expand our knowledge of life and literature and of their mutual interaction.« Jorge Sacido-Romero, Journal of the Short Story in English, 79 (2019)
