"Improvising Theory represents the stupendous outcome of what should be an ordinary procedure - the interaction between a faculty member and her advisee in the field. What makes this book so remarkable is that both sides of this correspondence maintain a tone that is richly literary. Moreover, the exchange is a model for the kind of pedagogical relationship we should all aim to have with our students." - Michael Herzfeld, Harvard University"
