5.0 out of 5 stars
The most insightful Bierce criticism since Davidson,
By Drummer (Fort Myers, FL USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: PRESCRIPTION FOR ADVERSITY: THE MORAL ART OF AMBROSE BIERCE (Paperback)
This book, which demonstrates the morality and compassion of a writer who has been offhandedly dismissed as a "cynic" by many critics, made me realize why I have always been so attracted to Bierce.
Bierce's personal stoicism, coupled with his literary romanticism, resulted in some of the most memorable stories in the history of American literature. This is the best piece of Bierce criticism since Cathy Davidson's book about Bierce's influence on the postmoderns. Highly recommended. |
