An indispensable collection of one of America's most outspoken and
original critics of the second half of the twentieth century Man of
letters, political critic, public intellectual, Irving Howe was one
of America's most exemplary and embattled writers. Since his death
in 1993 at age 72, Howe's work and his personal example of
commitment to high principle, both literary and political, have had
a vigorous afterlife. This posthumous and capacious collection
includes twenty-six essays that originally appeared in such
publications as the New York Review of Books, the New Republic, and
the Nation. Taken together, they reveal the depth and breadth of
Howe's enthusiasms and range over politics, literature, Judaism,
and the tumults of American society. A Voice Still Heard is
essential to the understanding of the passionate and skeptical
spirit of this lucid writer. The book forms a bridge between the
two parallel enterprises of culture and politics. It shows how
politics justifies itself by culture, and how the latter prompts
the former. Howe's voice is ever sharp, relentless, often
scathingly funny, revealing Howe as that rarest of critics-a real
reader and writer, one whose clarity of style is a result of his
disciplined and candid mind.
