DescriptionCynthia Ozick - The Din In The Head  Ozick is a literary powerhouse, writing beguiling and adventurous novels, most recently Heir to the Glimmering World (2004), and electrifying literary essays. Criticism is a difficult form, and Ozick practices it with passionate curiosity, discernment, and pleasure in both rigorous thinking and the crafting of decisive and scintillating prose. Her latest collection of forthright and tonic essays includes penetrating tributes to two brilliant thinkers, Susan Sontag and Lionel Trilling. Ozick expresses her faith in imagination in a provocative reflection on Helen Keller and considers the nexus of literature and tyranny in incisive readings of Tolstoy, Babel, and Azar Nafisi's Reading Lolita in Tehran. Revisiting Updike, Bellow, and Roth inspires thoughts on the decline of a vibrant mainstream American book culture and a spirited defense of the "insights of art" in general and the novel's "infinity of plasticity and elasticity" in specific. Writing with pirouetting grace, Ozick observes that only the novel can encompass "the din in our heads, that relentless inward hum of fragility and hope and transcendence and dread."
