This review is from: Something Said (American Literature (Dalkey Archive)) (Paperback)
I wish someone like Sorrentino were writing today in publications like "The New York Times Book Review." Many of the essays in this book are short reviews, of a page or two. A few are slightly longer essays on key figures like Williams and Spicer. What is amazing is how often Sorrentino is right. His style is vigorous, his judgments firm. The line about John Gardner alone is worth the price of admission: "We are struck ... that Mr. Gardner is one of those 'writers who cannot write," a Robert Bly of fiction.
