Book Review: “To the Back of Beyond” — Extreme Ambiguity

Evidently, plain-spoken language plus doubt and apprehension equate to novels that, once opened, are very hard to put down.

Book Interview: Thomas Kitson on a Neglected Gem of Russian Modernism

Book Review: “Rapture” — Modernism, Daredevil Style

Rapture is a worthwhile curio that grapples, entertainingly, with Modernism’s artistic, structural, and revolutionary quandaries.

Book Review: Polish Poet Czesław Miłosz — Master of the Telling Detail

For a reader without the reference points of mid-twentieth century Lithuania and Poland, this deeply researched biography can be a slog.

Book Review: Gershom Scholem — A Rich and Complicated Jewish Life

George Prochnik’s biography of Gershom Scholem is flawed, but well worth reading, especially for those struggling with their Jewish and Israeli identities.
