Through Kosinski's Lenses: Identity, Sex, and Violence

Autor Mary Lazar
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 oct 2006
Through Kosinski's Lenses: Identity, Sex, and Violence is a critical examination of the literary work of Jerzy Kosinski (1933-1991). Once a source of international controversy, Kosinski now deserves to be studied for his artistic products, not his biography. Kosinski's work explores a world in flux and defies theoretical labels. His books offer an intelligent yet veiled examination of moral, political, and economic systems via stories that remain popular, intriguing, and disturbing. This analysis focuses on three of Kosinski's thematic lenses: identity, sex, and violence. Also featured are materials from the author's interviews with noted Kosinski scholars and friends- most importantly, with his widow, Mrs. Katherina von Fraunhofer-Kosinski.

Recenzii

Digging deep into Kosinski's works, Lazar is thorough in her examination, looking at Kosinski as both a Polish Jew and an American novelist. Her book is great for those who are well read, but it demands a sophisticated reader. Summing up: RECOMMENDED. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.
