Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"...collectively [the letters] reveal a brooding Selzer, a man continually doubting himself as a writer, doubting his decision to leave surgery; yet we also see a man capable of soaring to almost giddy heights, sustained by a tart tongue and a tendency to veer toward the dramatic. He is a man of many voices. Selzer and Josyph seem to stabilize each other--Richard the older always encouraging Peter the younger, always praising ... the less-experienced writer, who is also a painter, playwright, actor, raconteur ... Selzer's letters contain Josyph; they answer him in sustained conversation over a long period of time--their cumulative effect of value to both scholar and common reader." -- Sewanee Review

"Richard Selzer has long been a favorite of mine. His stories are fascinating." -- Annie Dillard, author of Tickets for a Prayer Wheel

Reseña del editor:

A lively and intimate selection of letters on life, literature, and art from one of America’s finest prose stylists.
