Rambling Prose is a collection of essays by Steven G. Kellman, culled from his lifetime of work on comparative literature, criticism, and film studies. Filled with wordplay and surprising insight, the collection demonstrates his range as an essayist and invites us to explore the human experience through refined literary analysis. Kellman explores such topics as animal rights, silence, mortality, eroticism, film, and language with his unique critical perspective and offers complex investigations of eternal human quandaries that raise more questions than they answer. Witty and insightful, Rambling Prose is a book for anyone who loves language and believes in the power, both positive and negative, of words to change the world
