Böcker av Cynthia Ozick

Selected by Cynthia Ozick from a dozen books written across more than fifty years, the essays and short stories gathered here constitute a summing-up of her remarkable literary career. In such classic essays as "Who Owns Anne Frank?," "What Helen Keller Saw," "Dostoevsky's Unabomber," and "Transcending the Kafkaesque," Ozick examines some of the world's most illustrious writers and their work, tackles compelling contemporary literary and moral issues, and looks into the wellsprings of her own lifelong engagement with literature. In her short stories, including "A Hebrew Sibyl," "What Happened to the Baby?," "Dictation," "The Biographer's Hat," and "The Conversion of the Jews," Ozick demonstrates again and again her stylistic brilliance and the originality of her distinctive interweaving of the strands of history and myth.
