This book contains deeply personal dialogues with Jewish American
writers, from Mark Krupnick in his final work. When he learned he
had ALS and roughly two years to live, literary critic Mark
Krupnick returned to the writers who had been his lifelong
conversation partners and asked with renewed intensity: how do you
live as a Jew, when, mostly, you live in your head? The evocative
and sinuous essays collected here are the products of this inquiry.
In his search for durable principles, Krupnick follows Lionel
Trilling, Cynthia Ozick, Geoffrey Hartman, Philip Roth, Saul
Bellow, and others into the elemental matters of life and death,
sex and gender, power and vulnerability. The editors - Krupnick's
wife, Jean K. Carney, and literary critic Mark Shechner - have also
included earlier essays and introductions that link Krupnick's work
with the ""deep places"" of his own imagination.
