Abstract:

Viewing literature as one among other forms of communication, Roger D. Sell
and his colleagues evaluate writer-respondent relationships according to the
same ethical criterion as applies for dialogue of any other kind. In a
nutshell: Are writers and readers respecting each other’s human autonomy? If
and when the answer here is “Yes!”, Sell’s team describe the communication
that is going on as ‘genuine’. In this latest book, they offer new
illustrations of what they mean by this, and ask whether genuineness is
compatible with communicational directness and communicational indirectness.
Is there a risk, for instance, that a very direct manner of writing could be
unacceptably coercive, or that a more indirect manner could be irresponsible,
or positively deceitful? The book’s overall conclusion is: “Not necessarily!”
A directness which is truthful and stimulates free discussion does respect the
integrity of the other person. And the same is true of an indirectness which
encourages readers themselves to contribute to the construction and assessment
of ideas, stories and experiences – sometimes literary indirectness may allow
greater scope for genuineness than does the directness of a non-literary
letter. By way of illustrating these points, the book opens up new lines of
inquiry into a wide range of literary texts from Britain, Germany, France,
Denmark, Poland, Romania, and the United States.
