Description

Lauded by the critics Dana Gioia, Morris Dickstein, Edward Mendelson, Christopher Hitchens, Joseph Epstein, and Michael Dirda alike, Arthur Krystal has written for publications as varied as Harper's, the New Criterion, Raritan, the American Scholar, and Sports Illustrated. In characteristically lucid prose, Krystal offers here-if he is to be believed-his last collection. These eleven essays and one evocative story range in subject matter from the depredations of aging and the anomalies of cultural appropriation to the friendship between Jacques Barzun and Lionel Trilling and the day Muhammad Ali punched Krystal in the face.

About the Author
Arthur Krystal has written for the New Yorker, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Times Literary Supplement, and the Washington Post, among other publications. His book Agitations: Essays on Life and Literature was a finalist for the 2003 Pen Award for the art of the essay.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
