Varieties of Intimacy in Literary Reading

While numerous descriptions by literary researchers, readers, authors, and philosophers on the feeling of intimacy they have sensed in literary reading can be found, new angles can still be brought to bear on this issue. This paper develops an account of the intimacy of literary reading based on three concepts: silent performance, routine, and authorial trust. By combining an interpretation of the history of silent reading with an understanding of literary reading as a particular kind of performance, I show, in the first part of the paper, how a focus on some internal qualities of reading helps to understand its intimate nature. The picture of the intimacy of literary reading emerging from this account is then complemented with a look at the role of routines in our reading lives and of the sense of trust readers can sometimes feel toward authors. All these aspects of literary reading contribute, in different ways, to the sense of intimacy literary reading can involve. The paper ends with a few observations on the state of this intimate experiential sphere in the increasingly digitalizing world.
