Quarrel & Quandary
- List Price: $25.00
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf
- Publish date: 01/01/2005
She writes -- quarrelsomely -- about Crime and Punishment, about William Styron's Sophie's Choice, about the Book of Job. She inquires into the subterranean dispositions and quandaries of Kafka and Henry James. She discusses the difficulties inherent in the translation of great books, whether into film or into another language. She explores what she calls "the selfishness of art" and courts controversy with her views on The Diary of Anne Frank and its transformations for the stage. Her reflections on the "rights of history" and the "rights of imagination" tap a profound concern for truth with regard to the Holocaust. She considers the shifting splendors of New York City, past and present. And she revisits her youth more deeply and with more feeling -- and comedy -- than ever before, in essays that reveal some of the formative experiences of her life as a writer.
