"the idea that politics and literature should seem so closely intertwined to Trilling seems now a quaint reminder of a time when books and ideas mattered in mainstream culture in a way they dont anymore. His prose is eloquent, his views occasionally hard to swallow can seem dated but more often as when he discusses Fitzgerald the reader finds himself excited about going back to the source material with new insight."
"Have been savoring each essay as I worked my way through this book. I'm surprised that I've never read it before. Anyone seriously interested in writing should have a copy so it can be reread from time to time. Sample essays are "The Meaning of a Literary Idea", "Freud and Literature", "Manners, Morals, and the Novel", "A Sense of the Past", "The Function of the Little Magazine". I can't say enough about all of them."
