SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY
IN THESE ELE6ANT ESSAYS, MANY OF
them originally written for The New Republic
and Harper s, Robert Boyers examines the
role of the political imagination in shaping
the works of such important contemporary
writers as W. G. Sebald and Philip Roth,
Nadine Gordimer
Natalia Ginzburg and Pat Barker, J. M.
Coetzee and John Updike, V. S. Naipaul
and Anita Desai. Occasionally he finds diat
politics actually figures very little in works
that only pretend to be interested in politics.
Elsewhere he discovers that certain writers
are not equal to the political issues they take
on or that their work is fatally compromised
by complacency or wishful thinking.
In the main, though, Boyers writes as a
lover of great literature who wishes to
understand how the best writers do justice
to their own political obsessions without
suggesting that everything is reducible
to politics. Resisting the notion that novels
can be effectively translated into ideas or
positions, he resists as well the notion that
art and politics must be held apart, lest
works of fiction somehow be contaminated
by their association with real life or public
issues. The essays offer a combination of close
reading, argument, and assessment.
What, Boyers asks, is the relationship between
form and substance in a work whose formal
properties are particularly striking? Is it
reasonable to think of a particular writer as
reactionary merely because he presents an
unflattering portrait of revolutionary activists
or because he is less than optimistic about
the future of newly independent societies?
CONTINUED ON BACK PIAP
CONTINUED FROM FRONT FLAP
What is the status of private life in works
set in politically tumultuous times? Can the
novelist be responsible if he consistently
refuses to engage the conditions that affect
even the intimate lives of his characters?
Such questions inform these essays, which
strive to be true to the essential spirit of
the works they discuss and to interrogate,
as sympathetically as possible, the
imagination of writers who negotiate
the unstable relationships between society
and the individual, art and ideas.
