Extract

When we read (analytically or in search of pleasure), we read in the present tense. indeed, the text seems not only present to us but electrically charged. It can seem to envelop us or to be ingested and internalized by us; it can get under our skin, startle us, make us cry, inhibit sleep (Miller, ch. 5 [146–91]). In memory the text may retain much of this experienced vividness and presence, even if our circumstances of reading can only be reconstructed laboriously. The context generally remains secondary to the felt memory of reading as visceral experience.
