註釋A treasure-house of literary entertainment, featuring a century's worth of the best reviews, essays, and interviews ever published in "The New York Times Book Review.
With more than 250 selections, Books of the Century -- now updated for this paperback edition -- sheds light on some of our greatest writers and how their books were received when first reviewed in "The New York Times Book Review, America's most widely read journal of the literary arts. Arranged chronologically, here are reviews of Franz Kafka's "The Trial, Anne Frank's "The Diary of a Young Girl, E. M. Forster's "A Passage to India, and Ernest Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls. Also selected from the Book Review's pages are letters to the editor from Jack London and Joseph Conrad, interviews with Emile Zola and Vladimir Nabokov, essays by Saul Bellow and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and the "Oops!" feature, which humbly presents reviews of classics such as Catch-22 and The Catcher in the Rye that the Book Review initially panned. A time line runs throughout, highlighting the century's literary landmarks. Bringing together classic reviews and writings, "The New York Times Book Review has created a resource to be read and cherished for years to come.
