But when he was assigned to read Emma as a Columbia graduate student, something extraordinary happened.

Viewing the world through her eyes and treating people as generously, his life suddenly acquired the fascination of a novel.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Library For The Blind and Print Disabled Large Type LT 823.7 DERES Checked In Add Copy to MyList
