Recenzii
I am humbled before Krystal's virtues: clarity, variety, levity, gravity and the single trait without which all others are beside the point -- humanity.
Arthur Krystal is a writer whose essays I always want to read even when I'm not interested in their subjects - until I become interested by reading them. What makes those subjects interesting is Krystal's personal voice: sympathetic, alert, skeptical, comic, sometimes sharp, sometimes extravagant and with a sharply-focused moral intelligence.
Arthur Krystal does what only the best writers can do: provides you with a deeper appreciation of the things you already cared about, awakens you to the things you didn't know to care about, and--on the strength of his intelligence, wit, and erudition--manages to engage you with the things you were sure you never cared about. His essays, many of which are collected here, are among my favorite prose works in recent memory, bar none.
'Except When I Write' reflects the varied cultural interests of an intellectual son-of-a-gun. Krystal's essays and reviews are unfailingly lucid and balanced-to-a-T.
The essays in 'Except When I Write' nearly all appeared in either Harper's or The New Yorker. That in itself speaks to their quality.
