The Moral Obligation to Be Intelligent: Selected Essays
Lionel Trilling

Northwestern University Press, 2008

Relevant moral issues....
On Sunday 7/30/00, The New York Times carried a review of "The Moral Obligation to be Intelligent" -- an article by Edward Rothstein entitled, "Dated? Perhaps, But His Insights Remain Powerful" -- Rothstein's insights are useful and I agree with most of them, but I ...
  
  











  



  
Little Dorrit (New Oxford Illustrated Dickens)
Charles Dickens

Oxford University Press, USA, 1987

Worth a Journey
Among the reasons to come to earth must surely be the chance to read this novel. Shaw called this novel a masterpiece among masterpieces. My opinion is that this novel is the greatest of the sixteen. It is less bland than Bleak House, more poignant than Copperfield. I ...
  
  











  



  
The Immediate Experience: Movies, Comics, Theatre, and Other Aspects of Popular Culture
Robert Warshow

Harvard University Press, 2002

A rare gem.
This book is a hard-to-find but fascinating and lightly-written look at film and its relationship with society. Warshow is elegant and interesting. If there are any publishers listening out there, my suggestion to you is to find this book, buy it, and reprint it
  
  











  



  
Isaac Babel The Collected Stories
Isaac Babel

Meridian Fiction, 1960

Isaac Babel was born in Odessa in 1894, and grew up in the traditional atmosphere of a lower middle-class Jewish family. At the age of twenty-one he went to St. Petersburg, where he lived as a hungry bohemian, dodging the Czarist police because he lacked the residence certificate required of Jews. Gorky was the first to encourage Babel by printing ...
  
  











  



  
The Middle of the Journey (New York Review Books Classics Series)
Lionel Trilling

NYRB Classics, 2002

Who's afraid of Lionel Trilling?
The Middle of the Journey (published 1947) is a NYRB classic which I finished reading some time ago but have only gotten around to reviewing now for reasons which will probably become evident. I have long been aware of Trilling's essays on literature, particularly his ...

Sincerity and Authenticity (The Charles Eliot Norton Lectures)
Lionel Trilling

Harvard University Press, 2006

Subtle, nuanced intellectual and literary history
This book, based on lectures he gave at Harvard in 1970, is delight. Trilling draws a fine but deep distinction between two conceptions of selfhood. Sincerity, or being true to yourself with an eye to being true to others, was the dominant concern of Renaissance and ...
  
  











  



  
The Liberal Imagination (New York Review Books Classics)
Lionel Trilling

NYRB Classics, 2008

Anachronistic. And what does Freud have to do with liberalism?
This book wasn't really designed for me, and I wonder whether it was designed for anyone born a quarter-century after it was written. If you read the Louis Menand introduction after you've read the book -- which was my approach -- you'll be puzzled that The Liberal ...
