Franco Moretti is a rare, if not unique, scholar: a supreme literary critic, a connoisseur of books and ideas, a fine writer with a witty side, and a repository of the left’s passion for knowledge, all without arrogance or pretension, but with complete clarity, as is manifest in his writing itself. Only a few have generated the interest he has in that in the body of his works to date he has done nothing less than re-examine the way we speak about literature.
