    Abstract: "The renowned biographer's definitive portrait of a literary titan. Appointed by Philip Roth and granted independence and complete access, Blake Bailey spent years poring over Roth's personal archive, interviewing his friends, lovers, and colleagues, and engaging Roth himself in breathtakingly candid conversations. The result is an indelible portrait of an American master and of the postwar literary scene. Bailey shows how Roth emerged from a lower-middle-class Jewish milieu to achieve the heights of literary fame, how his career was nearly derailed by his catastrophic first marriage, and how he championed the work of dissident novelists behind the Iron Curtain. Bailey examines Roth's rivalrous friendships with Saul Bellow, John Updike, and William Styron, and reveals the truths of his florid love life, culminating in his almost-twenty-year relationship with actress Claire Bloom, who pilloried Roth in her 1996 memoir, Leaving a Doll's House. Tracing Roth's path from realism to farce to metafiction to the tragic masterpieces of the American Trilogy, Bailey explores Roth's engagement with nearly every aspect of postwar American culture"--

    Abstract: For more than fifty years, Geoffrey Hartman has been a pivotal figure in the humanities. In his first book, in 1954, he helped establish the study of Romanticism as key to the problems of modernity. Later, his writings were crucial to the explosive developments in literary theory in the late seventies, and he was a pioneer in Jewish studies, trauma studies, and studies of the Holocaust. At Yale, he was a founder of its Judaic Studies program, as well as of the first major video archive for Holocaust testimonies. Generations of students have benefited from Hartman's generosity, his penetrating and incisive questioning, the wizardry of his close reading, and his sense that the work of a literary scholar, no less than that of an artist, is a creative act. All these qualities shine forth in this intellectual memoir, which will stand as his autobiography. Hartman describes his early education, uncanny sense of vocation, and development as a literary scholar and cultural critic. He looks back at how his career was influenced by his experience, at the age of nine, of being a refugee from Nazi Germany in the Kindertransport. He spent the next six years at school in England, where he developed his love of English literature and the English countryside, before leaving to join his mother in America. Hartman treats us to a "biobibliography" of his engagements with the major trends in literary criticism. He covers the exciting period at Yale handled so controversially by the media and gives us vivid portraits, in particular, of Harold Bloom, Paul de Man, and Jacques Derrida. All this is set in the context of his gradual self-awareness of what scholarship implies and how his personal displacements strengthened his calling to mediate between European and American literary cultures. Anyone looking for a rich, intelligible account of the last half-century of combative literary studies will want to read Geoffrey Hartman's unapologetic scholar's tale.

    Abstract: Stephen Tree, der als Regisseur, Dramaturg und Übersetzer in Berlin lebt, widmet sich in seinem gut lesbaren Buch der Biografie des berühmten Schriftstellers und Nobelpreisträgers, dessen 100. Geburtstag in diesem Jahr begangen wird. Dabei geht es Tree nicht so sehr um eine Analyse des umfangreichen, in jiddischer Sprache verfassten Werks, sondern um den Lebensweg Singers: Aufgewachsen in einer armen orthodoxen Rabbinerfamilie in Polen, folgt der junge Mann dem Vorbild seines Bruders und wird Schriftsteller. Auch wenn er die typische Kleidung der orthodoxen Juden ablegt und die Schläfenlocken abschneidet, so bleibt sein Schaffen doch sein ganzes Leben lang dem osteuropäischen Judentum und dessen Sprache, dem Jiddischen, verbunden. Mitte der 30er-Jahre emigriert er nach New York, wo er für eine jiddische Zeitung arbeitet und ein anerkannter Schriftsteller wird. Tree zeichnet ein eingängiges Porträt Singers, das auch Einblicke in das Privatleben gibt. Eine gute Ergänzung zu den zahlreichen in deutsch erschienenen Titeln des Autors (zuletzt BA 7/04). (2)

    Abstract: Die Autorin, eine versierte Filmpublizistin, betätigt sich hier als erfahrene Fährtensucherin im verminten Gelände: Tausende von Seiten mehr oder weniger seriöser Reportagen, Dokumentationen, Biographien, Vermutungen waren zu sichten, zu gewichten und zu bewerten, um dann auf knapp 180 Seiten das Psychogramm einer Ehe und ihres Scheiterns zu entwerfen. Daß dabei neue Aspekte zutage traten, wird angesichts der Masse von Sekundärliteratur, die sich hier nur in Kilogramm bemessen läßt, niemand erwarten, die quälende Frage, warum ein "Egghead" unbedingt ein "Stundenglas" heiraten mußte, wo doch jeder Yellow-Press-Leser wußte, daß das einfach nicht gut gehen kann, bleibt wieder unbeantwortet.
