Abstract
Most, if not perhaps all, models of language and literacy in mainstream scholarship are constructed exclusively within human parameters, whether this is done through claims to representation, or through interpretation, construction, or deconstruction. The road one walks with David Abram, however, takes a different path to the very grounding of language in a sensuous world that exists as more than human. Abram takes us directly into the realms of sensuous perception within reciprocal relations with one's surroundings, relations that give rise to utterances, to language, to literacy. Reading Abram's award-winning book, the reader is in for a treat of superb quality. (Abram is an ecologist and philosopher, who received a doctorate in philosophy from SUNY-Stony Brook.
