PALGRAVE STUDIES IN LITERARY ANTHROPOLOGY LIV...

This ground-breaking book explores the phenomenal growth of live literature in the digitalizing
21st century. Wiles asks why literary events appeal and matter to people  and how they can
transform the ways in which fiction is received and valued. Readers are immersed in the
experience of two contrasting events: a major literary festival and an intimate LGBTQ+ salon.
Evocative scenes and observations are interwoven with sharp critical analysis and entertaining
conversations with well-known author-performers  reader-audiences  producers  critics  and
booksellers. Wiles's experiential literary ethnography represents an innovative and vital
contribution  not just to literary research  but to research into the value of cultural
experience across art forms. This book probes intersections between readers and audiences 
writers and performers  texts and events  bodies and memories  and curation and reception. It
addresses key literary debates from cultural appropriation to diversity in publishing  the
effects of social media  and the quest for authenticity. It will engage a broad audience  from
academics and producers to writers and audiences.
