A monumental hardcover collection of the best of Ozick's stories and essays, drawn from across the six-decade career of one of our preeminent writers--with a new introduction by the author

Selected by Cynthia Ozick from a dozen books written across more than fifty years, the essays and short stories gathered here constitute a summing-up of her remarkable literary career. In such classic essays as Who Owns Anne Frank?, What Helen Keller Saw, Dostoevsky's Unabomber, and Transcending the Kafkaesque, Ozick examines some of the world's most illustrious writers and their work, tackles compelling contemporary literary and moral issues, and looks into the wellsprings of her own lifelong engagement with literature. In her short stories, including A Hebrew Sibyl, What Happened to the Baby?, Dictation, The Biographer's Hat, and The Conversion of the Jews, Ozick demonstrates again and again her stylistic brilliance and the originality of her distinctive interweaving of the strands of history and myth.

Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.
