"The Critic, the Assistant Critic, and Victoria" tells the story of
the assistant to a well-known literary critic who suffers from the
dominance of the critic and from the critic's practice to "borrow"
abundantly from the assistant's work and publish it under his own
name. After the critic's sudden death, the assistant believes he
has been freed, finally, from the critic's dominance. However, when
the critic's widow -- the beautiful Victoria -- asks him to
complete an unfinished novel written by her late husband, the
assistant finds himself still under the influence of the critic, as
well as his wife. Although set in Israel, the novel is appealing to
the international reader because of its universality of plot,
literary background, sharp and witty dialogue, and humor. Philip
Roth meets Woody Allen. A book worthy of the "New York Times"'
recommended reading list.
