- Annotation
- Foregrounding the reader s experience during the process of reading fiction, Mitchell calls for a return to the practices of close reading similar to that used with poetry. In analyzing Hemingway s Up in Michigan, Mitchell and his students carefully unpack the literary language of the story s disturbing sexual encounter to demonstrate that close reading opens texts to unexpected possibilities of interpretation.
