The elements (and pleasures) of difficulty

Salvatori, Mariolina Rizzi. (Author). Donahue, Patricia, 1953- (Added Author).

Summary: "Emphasizing both reading and writing, The Elements of Difficulty helps readers to confront the challenges of interpreting difficult texts and to see those challenges as paths to knowledge, rather than impediments. This short, economical paperback enables readers to acknowledge, name, and assess the nature of their difficulties in reading and interpreting complex texts, with the ultimate goal of transforming confusion into understanding." --Syndetics
