   Extractions: Introduction by Cynthia Ozick. Customer Reviews: Of Fathers and Sons I recently finished reading Martin Amis's EXPERIENCE: A MEMOIR in which he cites Saul Bellow as a literary father figure (moreso, it seems, than his own author father Kingsley Amis). This made me want to read something by Bellow and since SEIZE THE DAY is a short novel (114 pages) from his peak period I chose to read this book first. Cynthia Ozick's introductory essay was not a very helpful introduction to the book. She quotes heavily from the novel, which is a bit of a spoiler. Perhaps it would have been better to read her essay after reading the novel.

   Extractions: OZICK, CYNTHIA OZICK, CYNTHIA Ozick emerged as a gifted short-story writer in the early 1960s, publishing her first full-length novel, Trust The Pagan Rabbi, and Other Stories Bloodshed and Three Novellas (1976) and The Messiah of Stockholm The Messiah of Stockholm tells the story of Lars Andemening, an orphan of World War II who becomes fixated on the idea that he is the son of Levitation: Five Fictions (1982), the novels The Cannibal Galaxy (1983) and The Shawl The Cannibal Galaxy The Shawl The Puttermesser Papers (1997), a fantastic, episodic novel reminiscent of 18 th -century picaresque tales. The novel follows the magical adventures of Jewish attorney Ruth Puttermesser, from hercreation of a female golem who helps her to become mayor of New York to her death and experiences in paradise. Here and elsewhere Ozick combines the realistic and the surrealistic, comedy, tragedy, and philosophy, in order to create beautifully rich texts exploring Jewish life in America. Her 2004 realistic novel Heir to the Glimmering World is the story of a teenage orphan working for a German immigrant family headed by a professor who obsessively studies the Karaites, an obscure Jewish sect.

She moved to the Bronx with her Russian-born parents, Celia (Regelson) and William Ozick, proprietors of the Park View Pharmacy in the Pelham Bay neighborhood.

She earned her B.A. from New York University and went on to study English Literature at Ohio State University , where she completed an M.A. Ozick's fiction and essays are often about Jewish American life, but she also writes on a broad range of topics including politics, history, and literary criticism.

   Extractions: "She had only to think, and the thought would appear incarnate before her. Ah, delightful! Splendid! It was, in truth, Paradise." And so Puttermesser, the heroine of Cynthia Ozick's story "Puttermesser in Paradise" (May, 1997, Atlantic ) is smitten upon her first brush with the ever-after. If making ideas incarnate is Paradise, then as a writer Cynthia Ozick may well already have arrived. Ozick's publications, beginning with the novel Trust in 1966, waltz between collected poems, short stories, essays, novels, and plays, and include The Pagan Rabbi and Other Stories The Cannibal Galaxy The Messiah of Stockholm The Shawl Epodes: First Poems Portrait of the Artist as a Bad Character and Other Essays on Writing (1994), and The Puttermesser Papers , from which her current Atlantic story is drawn, is due out in June, 1997. Ozick has received numerous literary awards, among them a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Mildred and Harold Straus Living Award from the American Academy and National Institute of Arts and Letters.

    Extractions: Two of Ozick’s best-known pieces on Judaism illustrate several characteristics of her approaches to the essay. In her preface to “Toward a New Yiddish” (1970) in Art and Ardor, Ozick states that “my own striving is to be one thing all the time, and to everyone; not to have one attitude or subject matter (or imagining or storytelling) for one kind of friend and another for another kind.” Though the essay argues that “there are no major works of Jewish imaginative genius written in any Gentile language,” Ozick’s selection of the essay for Art and Ardor suggests that she assumes her Gentile as well as her Jewish readers will be open to her revolutionary ideas. Her purpose in the essay is to encourage Jews to develop a central liturgical language, by and for Jews, that will allow them to develop in the Diaspora a Jewish oeuvre. She responds to her own ideas in “Bialik’s Hint” (1983), altering them slightly, to conclude that a new language is not what is necessary—what is needed for Jews to accomplish a new literature is to replicate the combination of the Hebraic and the Platonic that produced the Jewish holiness of study in a new assimilation of Hebrew and Enlightenment thought—“for Enlightenment ideas of skepticism, originality, individuality, and the assertiveness of the free imagination to leach into what we might call the Jewish language of restraint, sobriety, moral seriousness, collective conscience.” Her shift in thought does not contradict her desire to be the same person to all people; rather, it expresses the kind of openness that marks the capacity of writer and reader to learn.

    Extractions: You Save: Cynthia Ozick is one of America’s literary treasures. For her sixth novel, she set herself a brilliant challenge: to retell the story of Henry James’s The Ambassadors —the work he considered his best—but as a photographic negative, that is the plot is the same, the meaning is reversed. At the core of the story is Bea Nightingale, a fiftyish divorced schoolteacher whose life has been on hold during the many years since her brief marriage. When her estranged, difficult brother asks her to leave New York for Paris to retrieve a nephew she barely knows, she becomes entangled in the lives of her brother’s family and even, after so long, her ex-husband. Every one of them is irrevocably changed by the events of just a few months in that fateful year. Traveling from New York to Paris to Hollywood, aiding and abetting her nephew and niece while waging a war of letters with her brother, facing her ex-husband and finally shaking off his lingering sneers from decades past, Bea Nightingale is a newly liberated divorcee who inadvertently wreaks havoc on the very people she tries to help.
