Recenzje

'Probably the best book on literature, language and mind I have ever read. It makes a case for genuinely reciprocal interdisciplinary practices and points the way to epistemologically more robust study in the arts and humanities. It will be hugely influential.' Tim Wharton, University of Brighton
