Quarrel & Quandary showcases the manifold talents of one of our leading and award-winning critics and essayists.
In nineteen opulent essays, Cynthia Ozick probes Dostoevsky for insights into the Unabomber, questions the role of the public intellectual, and dares to wonder what poetry is. She roams effortlessly from Kafka to James, Styron to Stein, and, in the book's most famous essay, dissects the gaudy commercialism that has reduced Anne Frank to "usable goods." Courageous, audacious, and sublime, these essays have the courage of conviction, the probing of genius, and the durable audacity to matter.
Review:
"Ozick's new collection of essays...thoughtfully explores the delicately calibrated and often adversarial tensions that affect the relation between art and politics."
Kirkus, 07/15/2000
Review:"Where Ms. Ozick is best is in the more complex of her ruminations on art's collision with politics....[T]hree cheers for when art's encroachment on politics serves to bring out the best in her. Even when you disagree with her, she electrifies your mind."
Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times, 09/20/2000
