Is there a thematic bias in American literary criticism?

What’s Best and What’s Sexist -- Mark Athitakis’ American Fiction Notes After reading this (and some of the linked pieces) I'm persuaded that the answer is YES. There is a bias for novels that feature a male protagonist fighting against a culture/world where the rules are defined by women. A week or so back, Andrew Seal spent some time testing an argument by literary scholar Nina...

James Wood Has a Go at Paul Auster

For reasons that have never really been clear to me, Paul Auster seems to be Europe's favorite contemporary American writer. Perhaps it's down to his heavy-lidded, writerly good looks, or because his last name means 'oyster' in German, or because...

Book report: Invisible

Oh, Paul Auster. You fill me with wonder. Even though you constantly like to remind me that I'm reading a book, that I should not take the words on the page at face value, that you're going to tie me up in knots, I always get sucked in and let you do it. I always fall for your characters, I always love it when you debunk my expectations and hopes. There's a coolness to your approach, but such a warmth...

James Wood On The Novels Of Paul Auster

Uh-oh . For what it's worth, I think Wood is just about right on the money. However, for some readers (including, at one point , me) Auster's plain-faced sincerity (which Wood finds banal with clichés) is quite charming.

Daily Dose Pick: Invisible

Invisible , Paul Auster's newest and perhaps most accomplished book, is a suspenseful, psychological query on the natures of art and life, good and evil, and truth and memory. The story begins with Adam Walker, a bright-eyed aspiring poet at Columbia University in 1967, but quickly delves into a four-decade, multi-layered saga full of sexuality, violence, philosophical puzzles, and unpredictable resolutions....

James Wood: The novels of Paul Auster.

Roger Phaedo had not spoken to anyone for ten years. He confined himself to his Brooklyn apartment, obsessively translating and retranslating the same short passage from Rousseau’s “Confessions.” A decade earlier, a mobster named Charlie Dark had attacked Phaedo and his wife. Phaedo was beaten to . . .

Asterios Polyp by David Mazzucchelli

The “novel of ideas” is highly feted by the smarty-pants set, but I’ve usually had trouble finishing one. Those few that I’ve read to completion fall considerably short of my “desert island” list. Paul Auster , whose Moon Palace still resides near the top of said list, failed to impress me with his New York Trilogy ( A ) — City Of Glass was, I thought, especially...

Mid-month Book Reviews

Dreamers of the Day : I think Mary Doria Russell is one of the best authors around. Usually, I like an author for a book or two, but then it becomes clear that all of their books have a general style that I'm done with. That's why I'm always stumped when people ask me my favorite authors. I rarely read everything an author writes. But Mary Doria Russell has written a group of books that seem to have...
