The book addresses the problem of literary value in North American literature, children’s literature, film, and poetry. First it focuses on institutions which are instrumental in attributing value to literature: literary critics and award givers. It juxtaposes scholarly pursuits with cinematic praxis, and cinematic praxis with political activity.
