Book Description:
William H. Gass, one of America's most brilliant and eclectic
minds, examines literature, culture, writers, and the nature and
uses of language and the written word.
In this sequel to Fiction & the Figures of Life, one of
America's most brilliant and eclectic minds examines literature,
culture, writers (their lives and works), and the nature and
uses of language and the written word. Included are discussions
of Valry, Henry Miller, Sartre, Freud, Faulkner, suicide, "art
and order," and the transformation of language into poetry and
fiction. The vividness and clarity of Gass's writing, the
unabashed love and inimitable use of language-his startling
metaphors, the sinuousness of his philosophy, the originality of
his vision-make each essay a searching revelation of its
subject, as well as an example of Gass's own singular artistry.
