That is to say, Walter Dickhaut convinces us that what is written is not finished until the last reader shelves the piece. He focuses upon the universal experience of listening, the experience of the receiver of. Pen Enthusiast said A Nice Book. Building a Community of Interpreters is an easy and short read.
