In a Cardboard Belt!: Essays Personal, Literary, and Savage Paperback - 2008
by Joseph Epstein
Writing as a memoirist, polemicist, literary critic, and amused observer of contemporary culture, the author of "Snobbery" and "Friendship" presents this engaging collection of essays that captures his witty, entertaining responses to the richness and variety of life.
Summary
Taking his title from the wounded cry of the once great Max Bialystock in The Producers Look at me now! Look at me now! I’m wearing a cardboard belt!” the charming essayist Joseph Epstein gives us his largest and most adventurous collection to date. With his signature gifts of sparkling humor and penetrating intelligence, he issues forth as a memoirist, polemicist, literary critic, and amused observer of contemporary culture. In deeply considered examinations of writers from Paul Valéry to Truman Capote, in incisive take-downs of such cultural pooh-bahs as Harold Bloom and George Steiner, and in personally revealing essays about his father and about his years as a teacher, this remarkable collection from one of America’s best essayists is a book to be savored.
