Reviews"As an essayist, Cynthia Ozick is a very good storyteller. Her arguments are plots....They twist and turn, digress, slow down and speed up, surprise with sudden illuminations.... She likes to spin and sparkle.... Insight, feeling, and the writer's art come together."-- The New York Times Book Review "Plenitude...[a] brilliant collection of essays....daring but wholly persuasive." -- Chicago Tribune "To read Cynthia Ozick is to be borne along by a mind passionately and intellectually engaged." -- Newsday, "As an essayist, Cynthia Ozick is a very good storyteller.

SynopsisFrom the author of The Messiah of Stockholm and Art and Ardor comes a new collection of supple, provocative, and intellectually dazzling essays. In Metaphor & Memory, Cynthia Ozick writes about Saul Bellow and Henry James, William Gaddis and Primo Levi. She observes the tug-of-war between written and spoken language and the complex relation between art's contrivances and its moral truths. She has given us an exceptional book that demonstrates the possibilities of literature even as it explores them.
