Reviews

"Only a book as eloquently composed and carefully reasoned as this one could provide the critical optimism missing from the Humanities today. Miller's intelligent and moving study gives me hope that writing does matter after all, even and especially in the face of our greatest national traumas. This book is humanistic writing at its very best."
--Diana Fuss, Princeton University

"Rich, provocative, and multigenric. . . . The most consistent strength in 'Writing at the End of the World' is Miller's ability to locate existing binaries and blend competing arguments to produce strikingly original insights."
--JAC

"Richard E. Miller is that rarity in today's academia, a writer of passion and originality whose ideas never conform to predictable party lines. Miller is at his incisive best in this absorbing 'institutional autobiography' on how 'writing may be said to matter' in the post-Columbine, post-9/11 world."
--Gerald Graff, author of Clueless in Academe

“ As always, Miller is not afraid to postulate limit cases for probing the uses and abuses of writing and the teaching of writing at times of crisis.  A tour de force bound to provoke intensely divergent but thoughtful responses.”
