Description
LOST is a question.
It is an intimate, personal question, posed to you. Scholar, fan, student, average Jill or Joe, literary critic or consumer of culture, the question is independent of any title you apply to yourself, any knowledge or wisdom or fascination you might claim to possess, any theory of which you consider yourself proponent.
Is LOST relevant to you as a human being?
Among the 500-plus large-format (8.5" x 11") pages of LOST Thought University Edition you will find 32 compelling questions posed by two dozen of the world's leading authorities in literary analysis, film theory, theatre, art, theology, language, and music -- as well as the most recognized names in the LOST blogosphere. With fascinating discussions touching on thousands of novel ideas, you will discover new ways of thinking about the thesis, major themes, character arcs, and original concepts given form and substance in one of television's greatest artistic achievements.
LOST confronted some of the most fundamental questions of human existence, arriving at answers never before explored in fiction, using storytelling techniques new to television drama.
