5.0 out of 5 stars Henry James would approve., Jun 15 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: ARDOR AND ART (Hardcover)
When Cynthia Ozick wrote of critic James Wood that "he thinks with a sublime ferocity...[and his writing is characterized by] an intellectual daring that portends literary permanence," she might have been describing herself. A belletrist always, a polemicist when necessary (she agrees with Chekhov that writers should engage in politics only in order to protect themselves from politics), Cynthia Ozick is our most distinguished literary intellectual (perhaps she would prefer the old-fashioned word "thinker"). Some essays in this collection are much finer than others, but a great writer's poor performances have a way of not mattering a great deal. "A Drugstore in Winter," "Literature and the Politics of Sex: A Dissent," and "Justice (Again) to Edith Wharton" are extraordinary.
