Gornick Vivian - Taking A Long Look Essays On Culture Literature And Feminism In Our Time - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: One of our most vital and incisive writers on literature feminism and knowing one's self For nearly fifty years Vivian Gornick's essays written with her characteristic clarity of perception and vibrant prose have explored feminism and writing literature and culture politics and personal experience. Drawing writing from the course of her career Taking a Long Look illuminates one of the driving themes behind Gornick's work: that the painful process of understanding one's self is what binds us to the larger world. In these essays Gornick explores the lives and literature of Alfred Kazin Mary Mc Carthy Diana Trilling Philip Roth Joan Didion and Herman Melville; the cultural impact of Silent Spring and Uncle Tom's Cabin; and the characters you might only find in a New York barber shop or midtown bus terminal. Even more Taking a Long Look brings back into print her incendiary essays first published in the Village Voice championing the emergence of the women's liberation movement of the 1970s. Alternately crackling with urgency or lucid with insight the essays in Taking a Long Look demonstrate one of America's most beloved critics at her best.
