Letters of Intent: Selected Essays
Cynthia Ozick (Author)
‘What we ought to do, as writers, is seize freedom now, immediately, by recognizing that we already have it.’
Cynthia Ozick, one of ‘the greatest living American writers’, has, over a lifetime of observation, produced some of the sharpest and most influential works of criticism in contemporary Anglo-American writing. Described as the ‘Emily Dickinson of the Bronx’ and ‘one of the most accomplished and graceful literary stylists of her time’, her acclaimed works span topics from Henry James to Helen Keller, and from Christian Heroism to lovesickness.
The essays selected here come from the six volumes Ozick published in the USA over the last thirty-three years. Collected by David Miller, Ozick’s friend and agent, they represent the diversity, curiosity, originality, and crackling wit of her works. A volume to treasure, to re-read and to relish, this is Cynthia Ozick, ‘the Athena of America’s literary pantheon’, at her very best.
