[edit] Books of the Century
With more than 250 selections, 'Books of the Century' 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.
A treasure house of literary entertainment, featuring the best reviews, essays, and interviews ever published in The New York Times Book Review, now in trade paperback for the first time. With more than 250 selections, Books of the Century 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 Diary of a Young Girl, E. M. Forster's A Passage to India, and Ernest Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls. The editors of the Book Review have also included such items as letters to the editor penned by Joseph Conrad and Jack London, interviews with Emile Zola and Vladimir Nabokov, essays by Saul Bellow and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and the 'Oops!' feature that humbly presents reviews of classics such as Catch-22 and The Catcher in the Rye, which the Book Review initially panned. A time line runs throughout the handsome, oversized volume, highlighting the century's literary landmarks. Bringing together classic reviews and writings, The New York Times Book Review has created a resource that all book lovers will enjoy adding to their libraries.
