  Salon | Books: A feeling for books
She convincingly argues that the Club's oft-derided packaging and selling of capital-L literature to middle-class strivers made it, for good and ill, one of the defining institutions of American middlebrow culture.
While Radway's account of her year of behind-the-scenes fieldwork at the Club's Manhattan offices in the turbulent mid-'80s will be fascinating to anyone engaged with the publishing world, the most compelling aspect of her book is its autobiographical narrative.
For all the force of her critique of the sexism, racism and bourgeois narrow-mindedness reflected in the Club's selections, Radway nonetheless "comes out" as a middlebrow reader herself, shaped by the Club's irresistible ethic and aesthetic, addicted to the "tactile, sensuous, profoundly emotional experience of being captured by a book...

AW: The topic of your new book, Encountering the Rest of God, which is the publication of that dissertation, is bound to interest many Sabbatarian Christians, some of whom will be familiar with Samuele Bacchiocchi's From Sabbath to Sunday, while others might be familiar with Carson's From Sabbath to Lord's Day.
