With George Lichtheim's sudden tragic death, one of the
last of that vanishing breed, the man of letters, is gone, and this survey
of his recent books turns into a memorial essay.
As
an intellectual com–
mitted to seeing life clearly, even if he did not see it whole, Lichtheim
would have repudiated any tribute as sentimental. There is only one
way to write about him justly: to appraise his work as though he were
still alive, as though he could still read this essay and subject it to his
skeptical examination.
