Book review: The William H. Gass Reader
David Cooper
DAVID COOPER is spending his retirement improving his Hebrew and reading for pleasure. Previously he was a poet, literary translator, and book critic. He will not connect with those whose profiles are incomplete.
"According to Gass a total aesthete reduces everything to style; the centrality of moral and ethical issues in his writing proves that Gass is not merely an aesthete. Whether or not they agree with him his readers will never be cognitively malnourished, and his poetic prose is a joy to read even when its vision is pessimistic." -- From my review of The William H. Gass Reader in New York Journal of Books #williamhgass #literaryfiction #literaryessays #literarycriticism
