?In Reclaiming Literarure Glasser presents a well-documented analysis of the role of the author in shaping the action of a novel....this is a valuable book for English teachers. By using Glasser's ideas, students will be better able to grasp an author's awareness in a novel while still being fascinated with the events of the book.?-Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy
