Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 1st Edition. First Edition, 1st printing. Clean & tight copy, gently read, in Very Good condition. "The subject of literary influence is broader, more interesting and more passionate than most literary scholars and critics conceive it to be. Their discussions are typically confined to the influence of previous writers (Gertrude Stein's influence on Hemingway, Pound's influence on Eliot, etc.), or to the influence of ideas and ideologies on a given writer (Marxism, Symbolism, the New Criticism, and so forth). But this is to take a narrow and often tedious view of the subject, and the editor, Stephen Berg, has therefore asked some twenty-four of our leading poets, novelists and critics to reconsider one (or more) of the deeper lasting influences on their work and write about it in a personal and concrete way." [jacket copy] Contributors include Raymond Carver, Carolyn Forche, John Gardner, Edward Hoagland, Cynthia Ozick, Gilbert Sorrentino, Grace Paley and many more poets. Coover on Beckett is classic. "IN PRAISE OF WHAT PERSISTS is a superb collection: writers in communion with their own vocation, honest and brave, not posing for the camera, and more eloquent for this reason. I suspect that it will make a powerful impact on those people who romanticize the writer's life. And it will be a strong voice for empowerment and consolation of those men and women who are writers and who do persist--whether they ever get the praise or not."--Jonathan Kozol.
