Two major books of criticism
THE FRENCH LITERARY HORIZON
by
Justin O'Brien
"I am finding this a beautiful and instructive treasure, making permanent
the best thoughts of a fine mind.
I
don't think even reading the English transla–
tions we have of these writers gives one the flavor of French literature as well as
does Justin O'Brien's critical writings on these same authors."-sEYMOUR EPSTEIN
"He is one of the best and most gifted expositors alive in the United States
today on the subject of French literature from Proust onwards. . .. The book
itself is a kind of education-in-parvo about all the literature that matters
in
twentieth-century France."--<;ARLOS BAKER, Princeton University
