Metaphor & Memory by Cynthia Ozick
From the author of The Messiah of Stockholm and Art and Ardor comes a new collection of supple, provocative, and intellectually dazzling essays. In Metaphor & Memory, Cynthia Ozick writes about Saul Bellow and Henry James, William Gaddis and Primo Levi. She observes the tug-of-war between written and spoken language and the complex relation between art's contrivances and its moral truths. She has given us an exceptional book that demonstrates the possibilities of literature even as it explores them.Cynthia Ozick is the author of Trust, The Messiah of Stockholm, The Shawl, and The Puttermesser Papers, as well as a Lannan Prize winner for fiction and a National Book Critics Circle winner for essays. She is a New Yorker.
