"What this book represents is not a database of all the cultural codes by which writers create and readers understand the products of that creation, but a template, a pattern, a grammar, of sorts from which you can learn to look for those codes on your own." (Foster) p.280

It is All A Form of Play

"If I have given the impression somehow- by reaching an end point, for instance- that I have exhausted the codes by which literature is written and understood, I must apologize." (Foster 279)

"There comes a point in anyone's reading where watching for pattern and symbol becomes almost second nature, where words and images start calling out for attention" (280).

"My main suggestion, though, is to read things you like. You're not stuck with my list. Go to your bookstore or library and find novels, poems, plays..."(p. 28)

So, play, Dear Reader, play. (Foster 281)
