Document Summary
First-person narrative (use of the pronoun you ) People returning home to turkey, despite having never actually lived there. Ottoman and turkish cultural sites and ties destroyed by the bulgarian government. Explore the ways that malcomson represents the following: Things that surround a book that aren"t quite the thing or the text itself. Things like the cover, prefaces, typeface, and afterwards, but also reviews. Before you actually get to the text, the author makes a plea about how he/she wants you to approach and understand the text. Meaning might be constructed and begin at these textual outposts. Offers a radical proposition, in which the item becomes meaningful and is interpreted in many sites. Some sites can be arguably even more important than the text itself. For example, movie trailers, book reviews, etc. The para-text is subject to reading and therefore to interpretation by readers. Another author introduces the book builds ethos.
