Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 352 pages. Ex-library.This delightful book of writer-to-writer correspondence joins a full shelf of volumes in the genre, yet it is perhaps the first set of such letters evertrans acted via theInternet. Also unusual, at least for correspondents in the twenty-f irst century, is that Frederic Raphael and Joseph Epstein have never met, nor ev en spoken to each other. But what is most rare about this book is the authors' a bundant talent for entertaining their readers, as much when the topic is grave a s when it is droll. Raphael and Epstein agree to embark on a year-long correspo ndence, but other rules are few. As the weeks progress, their friendship grows, and each inspires the other. Almost any topic, large or small, is considered: th ey write of schooling, parents, wives, children, literary tastes, enmities, deli ghts, and beliefs. They discuss their professional lives as writers, their skill s or want of them, respective experiences with editors, producers, and actors, a nd, in priceless passages scattered throughout the letters, they assess such cel ebrated figures as Gore Vidal, Christopher Hitchens, Susan Sontag, Annie Leibowi tz, Malcolm Gladwell, Harold Bloom, George Steiner, Harold Pinter, Isaiah Berlin , George Weidenfeld, and Robert Gottlieb, among many others. Epstein and Raphael capture a year in their letters, but more, they invite us into an intimate worl d where literature, cinema, and art are keys to self-discovery and friendship.
