Fiction
Fame & Folly: Essays (PEN Literary Award Winner)
A Vintage paperback of Cynthia Ozick's essays on T. S. Eliot, Henry James, Isaac Babel, Salman Rushdie, and the collision of art with public life. Ozick writes with the moral seriousness of a critic who believes that literature matters more than reputation. The cover is the understated Vintage literary format, with the small type and the cream paper that make the essays feel like letters from a formidable correspondent. Vintage reissued it after the hardcover had found its audience among writers who read criticism for pleasure. Ideal reader: the reader who wants literary criticism that behaves like moral philosophy, or the writer who worries about what happens when art becomes famous.
