"Leslie Fiedler inspired both reverence and rage--Leonard Cohen described him 'leaning over the American moonlight / like the shyest gargoyle / who will not become angry or old,' while Saul Bellow called him 'the worst fucking thing that ever happened to American literature.' Love him of hate him, Fiedler's influence on academics and intellectuals remains undeniable, and in 1998 he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Book Critics Circle. Following an introduction and profile by Professor Samuele F.S. Pardini, the essays in THE DEVIL GETS HIS DUE will reacquaint readers with the depth and breadth of Fiedler's achievements. Tackling subjects ranging wildly from Dante, Ezra Pound and Mary McCarthy, to Rambo, Iwo Jima and Jerry Lewis, these writings showcase Fiedler's pioneering of an egalitarian canon that encompassed both 'high' and popular literature, cinema and history. As such, they show a powerful mind critiquing whole aspects of a culture and uncovering lessons therein that remain timely today." [publisher copy] "One of the most daring skinny-dippers in U.S. literary and social criticism, Fiedler has boldly led his readers down whirlpools of the national subconscious."--Time. "There are moments of insights that rival the outlandish genius of Love and Death in the American Novel."--The Times Literary Supplement. Pristine paperback, unread, w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine or markings.
