Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Ozick’s dramatic
inquiry into the malignance of betrayal; exile literal and emotional; the many
tentacles of anti-Semitism; and the balm and aberrance of artistic obsession is
brilliantly nuanced and profoundly disquieting.” —Booklist
“An extraordinary
novel, loosely based on The Ambassadors—but Ozick manages to out-James the
master himself…This is superb, dazzling fiction. Ozick richly observes and
lovingly crafts each character, and every sentence is a tribute to her
masterful command of language.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Ozick has achieved
another success. Henry James—the master—would not be displeased.” —Miami Herald
“This is vintage
Ozick; she is, perhaps, our most classical contemporary novelist, with a strong
sense of literary heritage.” —Los Angeles Times
“What makes this
novel such an absorbing achievement is not so much its slanted replications of
the story line of The Ambassadors…but
the witty, fierce way in which it goes about upending the whole theme and
meaning and stylistic manner of its revered precurser…Foreign Bodies is a nimble, entertaining literary homage, but it is
also, chillingly, what James would have called ‘the real thing.’” —New York Times Book Review
“Raucous, funny,
ferocious, and tragic. A literary master, as James was, Ozick makes all those
qualities fit together seamlessly, and with heartbreaking effect.” —Philadelphia Inquirer
