"In Shimon Adaf's Lost Detective Trilogy, what begins as conventional mystery becomes by degrees a brilliant deconstruction not just of genre but of our own search for meaning. Both profound and compulsively readable, these books demand to be devoured." --Lavie Tidhar, author of By Force Alone In the summer of 2014, at the height of the Gaza-Israel conflict, Elish Ben-Zaken met the poet and librarian Nahum Farkash in the border town of Sderot. They spoke only briefly, but in that brief encounter, Elish might have missed the key to unraveling the case of a Sderot woman who disappeared for two days, only to reappear with no memory of her time away. In Take Up and Read, Shimon Adaf returns to Farkash's story. Attempting to defend the legacy of the singer Dalia Shoshan--whose murder Elish investigated several years before--Farkash tries to impede the production of a new documentary about her life. Meanwhile, he reminisces about his past, reflecting on his experiences as a young religious boy growing up in Sderot. Fourteen years later, in a militant Israel that has been distorted by catastrophic war, Elish's niece and nephew are haunted by their uncle's death and the failure of his 2014 investigation. As Tahel and Oshri conduct experiments in search of the truth, they draw near to the heart of a great conspiracy. In this masterful conclusion to the Lost Detective Trilogy, Shimon Adaf brings together futuristic biotechnology, parallel universes, and Jewish mysticism. Take Up and Read addresses a central concern of the trilogy, interrogating humankind's tenuous grasp on the boundaries of our selves, and the arbitrary connections between the body, consciousness, and perception.

Reading as Method provides a concise and systematic account of how readers engage with texts, exploring the most paradigmatic techniques taught in the past and today, and guiding readers on developing their own critical approach to literature. Oliver Simons argues that behind the dizzying variety of reading methods - deep interpretation, surface reading, symptomatic or scattered reading, close textual analysis - are three distinctions: depth versus surface, text versus context, and close versus distant. By tracing these recurring distinctions, Simons offers students and instructors alike a lucid map through the landscape of literary analysis. Throughout the book, Simons returns to Kafka's unsettling 1917 story, "A Country Doctor," in which a wound glimpsed from afar becomes a tangle of imagination and fact upon closer scrutiny. The analysis of this wound is a lesson in reading itself: the more precisely we look, the more our own assumptions shape what we find. Reading as Method equips its readers to see how critics think, question the blind spots in every technique, and reclaim reading as an active, even subversive, pleasure.

What Katy Read focuses on a much neglected area of literary criticism: literature for girls. Written by women for children, such texts have been doubly marginalized by the critical establishment. Shirley Foster and Judy Simons use twentieth-century feminist critical practice to open up fresh perspectives on popular fiction for girls written between 1850 and 1920. The study analyses both American and British novels for girls which have acquired 'classic' status, from the domestic myth to the school story, and considers their scope and influence in providing role models for girl readers.
