Critics Review
If there is such a thing as a literary pantheon in America, then Cynthia Ozick is surely its Athena … Ozick casts sentences that fairly pulse with the electricity of a highly charged mind. * The Washington Post *
Ozick is double-barreled. She’s an inventive and revelatory fiction writer and an exacting, battle-ready critic; an impish writer of conscience and a creative intellectual. * Los Angeles Times *
As an essayist, Ozick is a very good storyteller. Her arguments are plots … They twist and turn, digress, slow down and speed up, surprise with sudden illuminations. * The New York Times Book Review *
She is out to reclaim the lost glory of the essay and restore some of its original sinewy meaning. You can hear the ground shaking with her mental fight, the crunch of her opinions. * Independent *
