Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 1st Edition. 3rd printing, October 1983. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Very Good condition. Erstwhile remainder has Random House logo red-stamped on upper edge, o/w unmarked in a torn/repaired back-flap jacket, enclosed in archival mylar. "'Writing criticism is to writing fiction and poetry as hugging the shore is to sailing in the open sea,' John Updike writes in his foreword to this collection of mostly literary considerations. Since 1960 the novelist and poet has been reviewing books for The New Yorker, and the reviews of the last eight years make up the bulk of this volume. [] Even his fellow critics have been encouraging: George Steiner has written of Updike's 'unforgiving yet strangely solicitous, almost tender intelligence'; Richard Locke has claimed 'there is an immensely attractive, nonacademic attentiveness to his reviews'; and James Atlas has complimented the article on Melville included here as 'the sort of ambitious scholarly reappraisal not seen in this country since the death of Edmund Wilson.' Wilson, indeed, is one of the authors HUGGING THE SHORE treats with especial attentiveness and affection; others are Vladimir Nabokov, Anne Tyler, Franz Kafka, Colette, Italo Calvino, Don DeLillo, Muriel Spark, Wallace Stevens. But fond applause is also bestowed on movie actresses Louise Brooks and Doris Day and on golfers Sam Snead and Arnold Palmer." [jacket copy] 919pp. Nice hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, wrapped in a Good/intact jacket covered in archival mylar & quite presentable. Artikel-Nr. RUB1882
