'A strange and compelling new book from one of America's greatest
living authors' Times Literary Supplement 'As cunning and rich as
anything Ozick's written' Wall Street Journal 'One of our era's
central writers. About a man ensnared by history, Antiquities is at
once a warning against the hazards of nostalgia and an invitation
to take a longer view of how we got to where we are' The New Yorker
'Ozick's prose urges the breathless reader along, her love of
language rolling excitedly through her sentences like an ocean
wave' New York Review of Books I remember nothing. I remember
everything. I believe everything. I believe nothing. In 1949, Lloyd
Wilkinson Petrie returns as a Trustee to the long-defunct boarding
school that he attended as a child. There he is preparing a memoir
about the subtle anti-Semitism that pervaded the school, about his
fascination with the Egyptian archaeological adventures of his
distant cousin, about the passions of a boyhood friendship with
named Ben-Zion Elefantin, a mystifying older pupil. In this
novella, and the three stories published alongside it, one of our
most preeminent writers weaves together myth and mania, history and
illusion to capture the shifting meanings of the past.
