Reviews
A distinguished teacher and literary/social critic, Howe left, upon his death in 1993, a group of brief, informal, exuberant, thought-provoking essays (he called them shtiklakh, or morsels) on character, history, tone, and style in the great novels. These 20 astonishingly erudite but unintimidating essays reveal Howe's informed passion for Tolstoy, Dickens, Henry James, and George Eliot. He writes in clear, luminous prose on such subjects as the Common Reader, the idea of the self, taste, Naturalism, obscurity in fiction, and the use of gratuitous detail in novels. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the 19th- and 20th-century novel-and anyone who loves to watch an independent, first-rate mind at work. Charles C. Nash, Cottey Coll., Nevada, Mo., Howe ( World of Our Fathers ), who died in 1993, wrote frequently about literature in Dissent , the left-wing journal he edited for many years. Although several of the essays assembled here, written late in Howe's life, have been published previously, most are newly gathered by his son. The younger Howe explains that his father considered them "shtiklakh"--a Yiddish word meaning brief idiosyncratic critical reflections, with an "allusive, darting lucidity." The pieces demonstrate Howe's love of good writing and his belief in the importance of the "common reader," in his view the mainstay of the literary public outside of academia. In these well written and enlightening essays, Howe concerns himself with the development of character in fiction, and with stylistic variation in the works of Tolstoy, Woolf, Flaubert and Nabokov. He constantly dissociates himself from literary theory, which he considered elitist and insular. This diverse posthumous collection will appeal to serious readers.

Synopsis
This collection of accessible, idiosyncratic essays explores such enduring literary concepts as character, style, tone, and genre. All have their origin in Howe's passion, moral striving, and abiding faith in the common reader. Edited and with an Introduction by Nicholas Howe.

- e***- (122)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufUnfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.
- 5***i (73)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufArrived on time. Packaging was lacking, product damaged in two places during shipping due to inadequate padding within the packaging. I can live with it seeing as I don't want to hunt down and pay for another copy... Item was as described minus the damage to the spine of the book in one place from the thin plastic wrapping not providing any rigidity or padding. This is the first time I have encountered this problem with this Fantastic seller. Excellent value. Thank you
