![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I know, every biography is described as "magisterial," but this one really was: deeply researched and endlessly rich in its readings of Dostoevsky's life and work. Perhaps Frank's most influential argument was that modern literature was defined by "spatial form." Frank showed that modern novels like Ulysses and Nightwood regularly favor simultaneity over sequence, asking the reader to, as he puts it, "suspend the process of individual reference temporarily until the entire pattern of individual reference can be apprehended as a unity." In other words, to read the modern novel, you must read it like a poem-which is to say, you must re-read it (and then re-read it again).Frank is most well known, though, for writing his epic, five-volume biography of Dostoevsky. Joseph Frank, biographer of Dostoevsky and a brilliant literary critic, died on Wednesday. ![]() ![]() ![]() Schertle’s verse, usually reliable, stumbles more than once stanzas such as “But Valentine’s Day / didn’t seem much fun / when he didn’t get cards / from anyone” will cause hitches during read-alouds. ![]() In this, Blue’s seventh outing, it’s not just the sturdy protagonist that seems to be wilting. ![]() Blue is therefore surprised (but readers may not be) when he pulls into his garage to be greeted by all his friends with a shiny blue valentine just for him. But as Blue heads home, his deliveries complete, his headlight eyes are sad and his front bumper droops ever so slightly.

They had some surprising help, and more than a little grief, from a talk show hostess named Oprah Winfrey. The Corrections helped deliver both writer and publisher into a century with a new set of rules. The brash and haughty Guggenheim heir had sold FSG to a German conglomerate in 1994 seven years later, at 84, he was still its president. There was really only one novel that did, a book that had been out for six days: The Corrections.įarrar, Straus and Giroux was the relic of an even earlier era, one abounding with wealthy patron-operators like Roger Straus. Few of that autumn’s artifacts would survive the leap from one era to another. “In the space of two hours, we left behind a happy era of Game Boy economics and trophy houses and entered a world of fear and vengeance.” What Franzen couldn’t foresee, but privately hoped, was that America would still need relics of that more complacent age. “Who would have guessed that everything could end so suddenly on a pretty Tuesday morning,” Franzen wrote in the next issue of The New Yorker. ![]() ![]() ![]() OL98682W Page_number_confidence 92.53 Pages 310 Partner Innodata Ppi 300 Rcs_key 24143 Republisher_date 20200907171517 Republisher_operator Republisher_time 539 Scandate 20200902205628 Scanner Scanningcenter cebu Scribe3_search_catalog isbn Scribe3_search_id 9780743442244 Tts_version 4.
