Лучшие книги Делмора Шварца

Невероятно богатую и мощную "прозу еврейской жизни" в Америке в этом сборнике представляют девять писателей. Одни - Маламуд, Мейлер - много печатались у нас, другие пользуются заслуженной известностью в Америке, но мы с ними почти, а то и вовсе незнакомы. Все эти авторы очень разные, а объединяет их высокое литературное мастерство и умение рассказать о жизни своих героев, будь то интеллектуалы, деловые люди или простые обыватели.

Book Description A marvelous collection containing classic poems and stories by Delmore Schwartz, one of America's most beloved writers. Delmore Schwartz (1913-1966) was one of the finest writers of his generation. Winner of the prestigious

Delmore Schwartz became the voice of a new generation, when 'In Dreams Begin Responsibilities' was published in the debut issue of Partisian Review in 1937. His influence on other writers was immediate and is still enormous; he was an influence on Philip Roth and Saul Bellow, whose 'Humbolt's Gift' is a fictionalised account of Bellow's own relationship with Schwartz. Delmore Schwartz is the only writer to be memorialised in a song by Lou Reed and also in one of John Barryman's Dream Songs. Despite his early promise and acheivement Delmore Schwartz died destitute in a New York hotel in 1966. "In Dreams Begin Responsibilities and other Stories" collects eight of Schwartz's finest stories; including the seminal 'In Dreams Begin Responsibilites', the foundation for all post-World War Two American-Jewish fiction. Delmore Schwartz found a vernacular language for the generational conflict with their immigrant parents that is still captivating.

Now, The Ego Is Always at the Wheel, a collection of nineteen essays, presents the poet as a humorist of no mean accomplishment.
