In his first book devoted exclusively to narrative fiction, Americas most original and controversial literary critic and legendary Yale professor writes trenchantly about fifty-two masterworks spanning the Western tradition.

And certainly no other critic could bring to it the extraordinary knowledge, understanding, and insight that are the hallmark of Blooms eve.
