A "New York Times Book Review" Editors' Choice The U.S. publication of "A Book of Memories "in 1997 introduced to our shores the work of an extraordinary novelist, Peter Nadas. Now, in "Fire and Knowledge," a superb collection of short stories, essays, and literary criticism, we discover other aspects of Nadas's major presence in European life and letters: as a trenchant commentator on the events that have transformed Europe since 1989, as a stunning literary critic, and as a subtle interpreter of language and politics in societies both free and unfree. Here, in full, is a rich and rewarding compilation of brilliantly original, touching, witty, and thought-provoking works by one of our greatest living writers.
