“Tell Me What You [Read], and I’ll Tell You Who You Are”

Jeraldine R. Kraver

Abstract

This study compares two different groups of readers—college English majors and a community reading group—in how they engage food-centric stories by Anzia Yezierska and Lara Vapnyar. The groups' polemical responses etch a rhetorical space between the worlds inside and outside the classroom for authentically transacting with literature.
