5 Star Amazon Review

"Well-written, extremely well-researched, scholarly collection of essays on what the author calls 'the greatest American novel ever written'. I tend to agree. This book is thoughtful, searching, and a pleasure to read. And it enhances one's enjoyment of the classic 1943 novel itself."

Emreโ€™s Essay Books will help you clarify ARโ€™s books. Since, his literary criticism focuses on what happens inside of ARโ€™s novels, not what people think outside of them. So, that instead of arguing by declaration, without proof, or arguing from authority, without evidence, Emreโ€™s books marshal and position book facts to prove a satisfying interpretive argument. From a text-centric line of reasoning, not a context-centric method of argumentation. Because Emre pulls his theses more out of specific book facts, and less out of other peopleโ€™s knowledge. Ultimately, making Emreโ€™s analysis objectively verifiable. Since, people can confirm Emreโ€™s claims by referring to ARโ€™s books. This, ultimately, is how Emre initiates and sustains logical reasoning on the main content of ARโ€™s novelsโ€™, only using valid secondary research, once in a while, to prove his theses.

So, that youths build their lives to success like Roark did.

Also, since Emreโ€™s essays are governed by an all-controlling thesis as the basis for selection, they prove one theme, and only one theme, per essay. Referencing book facts, outside scholarship, and Emreโ€™s own thinking, to illuminate ARโ€™s fiction.
