{"product_id":"metaphor-memory-9780679734253","title":"Metaphor \u0026 Memory","description":"From the author of The Messiah of Stockholm and Art and Ardor comes a new collection of supple, provocative, and intellectually dazzling essays. In Metaphor \u0026amp; Memory, Cynthia Ozick writes about Saul Bellow and Henry James, William Gaddis and Primo Levi. She observes the tug-of-war between written and spoken language and the complex relation between art's contrivances and its moral truths. She has given us an exceptional book that demonstrates the possibilities of literature even as it explores them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCynthia Ozick\u003c\/b\u003e, a recipient of a Lannan Award for fiction and a National Book Critics Circle winner for essays, is the author of \u003ci\u003eTrust\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Messiah of Stockholm\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Shawl\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Puttermesser Papers\u003c\/i\u003e.
