For The Din in the Head:
"Gives her readers exactly what they've come to expect . . . an unabashed intellectual hunger, a passion for language, a fierce insistence that writers have the right to explore whatever imaginative terrain their talents and impulses urge them toward. And, of course, Ozick wouldn't be Ozick without an occasional outburst of impatience with fools." -- Seattle Times
"Ozick is our arch defender of the independent rights and powers of literature, and of the novel in particular. . . Open the collection anywhere -- I guarantee it -- and you will feel the bite of her distinctive voice. If you are a reviewer, you will want to quote her." -- Sven Birkerts, Los Angeles Times Book Review "The passion that fills these essays is invigorating. In our age of irony and commercial pandering, we need writers like Ozick, who have the real beliefs and are willing to put their whole project on the line to defend them." -- Chicago Tribune“An absorbing achievement .º.º. A nimble, entertaining literary homage, but it is also, chillingly, what James would have called ‘the real thing.’”—New York Times Book Review
Cynthia Ozick is a literary treasure. In her sixth novel, she retraces Henry James’s The Ambassadors and delivers a brilliant, utterly new American classic.
At the center of the story is Bea Nightingale, a fiftyish divorced schoolteacher whose life has been on hold during the many years since her brief marriage. When her estranged, difficult brother asks her to travel to Europe to retrieve a nephew she barely knows, she becomes entangled in the lives of his family. Over the course of a few months she travels from New York to Paris to Hollywood, aiding and abetting her nephew and niece while waging a war of letters with her brother, and finally facing her ex-husband to shake off his lingering sneers from decades past. As she inadvertently wreaks havoc in their lives, every one of them is irrevocably changed.
“Raucous, funny, ferocious, and tragic. A literary master, as James was, Ozick makes all those qualities fit together seamlessly, and with heartbreaking effect.”—Philadelphia Inquirer
“Dazzling, even masterful.”—Entertainment Weekly
