It may look like a comic book, but "Maus II" is serious, subtle and eloquent pictorial literature. In his first "Maus" (1986) Art Spiegelman created a character, Artie Spiegelman, who was struggling to understand his parents, Vladek and Anja, survivors of Au schwitz; but he never directly told the story of the Holocaust. Here, without sentimentality or melodrama, he confronts it in tales of incidents that may be incommunicable. One might expect a strip portraying Jews as mice, Germans as cats and other people as different kinds of animals to be distracting. But the animals allow one to follow the fable without drowning in horror. The struggle to transform history into art is a central part of the drama here.
Editors' Choice: 1981-1998
1981 | 1982 | 1983 | 1984 | 1985 | 1986 | 1987 | 1988 | 1989 | 1990 | 1991 | 1992 | 1993 | 1994 | 1995 | 1996 | 1997 | 1998 |
wo first novels and what appears at first glance to be a comic book are among the works of fiction in this year's list of best books, along with two volumes of stories.
On the nonfiction list are the first volume of a massive biography, a scientific and philosophical tour de force, a psychological meditation on the mutilation of memory by unspeakable experience, a lyrical and anguished record of a writer's life mined from his journals and a volume that began as a government report and turned into a passionate indictment of the incompetence that resulted in a nuclear disaster.
There is no thread running through all these books. But it might be noted that three of them, one of nonfiction and two of fiction, touch the Holocaust -- not the catastrophe itself, but survivors' memories of it.
These 10 were chosen by the editors of The Book Review from an initial list of 38 books reviewed since last year's Christmas Books issue and nominated by the editors themselves. Disagreement is a persistent pest: the selection was made in often combative weekly meetings that began the week after Labor Day and ended early in November only because there was a deadline.
The following summaries of the books are drawn from the reviews that appeared in The Book Review.
COMPLETE COLLECTED STORIES By V. S. Pritchett. Random House.
V. S. Pritchett at the age of 90 has gathered 82 stories, written over 65 years, that he wants to preserve. They differ vastly in length and style, but all illustrate the strangeness of the ordinary, reflecting a child's clarity of vision but with a slightly corrupt knowingness. In addition to their intrinsic beauty, these tales provide rich allusions to life in England through this century: changing cultural surfaces, alterations in manners, sinking values. But through the changes human passion obstinately prevails, and Pritchett celebrates it. His characters are mostly commonplace people who may seem comic or tedious until one realizes that great passions move them. His work is an exaltation of life.
CONSCIOUSNESS EXPLAINED By Daniel C. Dennett. Little, Brown & Company.
The audacious title of this book, which attempts a scientific explanation of the feeling we have of being aware and self-deliberating, is emblematic of the style of Daniel C. Dennett, a provocative philosopher who is fully conversant in psychology, neuroscience and computer science. His book can be tough reading, but his writing is incisive, bright and often humorous. He arrives at a theory of his own to explain how our neural machinery has evolved to give us an uncanny reflective capacity that has led people for millenniums to suppose the body is inhabited by a spirit. But even those who reject his theory will value his illuminating attacks on previous scientific explanations and his extraordinarily clear syntheses of other theories of mind, brain and consciousness. Mr. Dennett's book is the best example in many years of science aimed with wonderful accuracy both at scientists and at general readers.
HOLOCAUST TESTIMONIES The Ruins of Memory. By Lawrence L. Langer. Yale University Press.
Analyzing hundreds of taped interviews with Holocaust survivors kept in a video archive at Yale University, Lawrence L. Langer demonstrates that they often speak from "common memory," recalling events in an ordered and detached way. But often they speak from "deep memory," reliving chaotic, brutal and degraded reality with a sense of irrecoverable loss. He argues persuasively that habitual references to the survivors as embodiments of the "invincible" or even "noble" human spirit are wrong. During the Holocaust, he says, the self functioned on the edge of extinction, and the personal histories of its victims are utterly beyond our evaluation. Despite being frequently quite abstract and full of psychological theory, this book has great power, never more so than in the extensively quoted recollections of these fugitives from the worst of hells.
THE JOURNALS OF JOHN CHEEVER By John Cheever. Alfred A. Knopf.
This generous selection from a journal John Cheever kept for more than 35 years shares with his fiction four main subjects: nature, God, home and sex. It lets us see the beast crouching in the bushes of the well-kept houses that fill his stories. Loneliness, at the center of all his work, accounts for his obsessive idealization of home and hearth, and the journal reflects his anguish at the conflicts that idealization created. Wanting to be a good husband and father, he was an alcoholic and a bisexual who hated his double life. Some readers may wish less dirt were exposed, but all can luxuriate in this rich prose, especially when Cheever writes about writing. That he struggled against terrible odds is evident here; but he left behind work of great beauty in all his books, including this one.
A LIFE OF PICASSO Volume One, 1881-1906. By John Richardson, with the collaboration of Marilyn McCully. Random House.
This, the first of four long-awaited volumes of the biography of Pablo Picasso, has the steady, unhurrying pace of Victorian biographies. John Richardson was long a neighbor of Picasso's in the south of France and had the trust of the artist and his widow, as well as of countless friends of theirs. His affectionate tale, filled with a tumult of reminiscence, is also hardheaded, putting to an end many legends the painter himself helped create. Not only Picasso but hundreds of others spring to life, and Mr. Richardson makes vivid the intrigues, jealousies, enmities, passions and loves of the extraordinary people who became involved with Picasso. The volume ends, tantalizingly, with a thrilling description of Picasso's preparations in 1906 to begin "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon," a painting that would change the direction of all art.
MATING By Norman Rush. Alfred A. Knopf.
Norman Rush's first novel, about a woman anthropologist seeking perfect love and the perfect lover, another anthropologist who has created a utopia in Africa, is one of the wisest and wittiest fictional meditations ever written on the subject of mating. It illuminates the nature of true intimacy. At their happiest, the lovers arrive at a state that is exalting in its seeming inexhaustibility. All this is presented in an allusive, freewheeling first-person narrative of impressive intelligence. The reader's education is tested and expanded by the fast and self-conscious company of the narrator and her beloved, people whose mordant wordplay is sly and pleasantly unobtrusive. If such brilliant writing is not enough, this woman's quest is a grand adventure across a land that assaults and seduces all the senses.
MAUS A Survivor's Tale II. And Here My Troubles Began. By Art Spiegelman. Pantheon Books.
It may look like a comic book, but "Maus II" is serious, subtle and eloquent pictorial literature. In his first "Maus" (1986) Art Spiegelman created a character, Artie Spiegelman, who was struggling to understand his parents, Vladek and Anja, survivors of Au schwitz; but he never directly told the story of the Holocaust. Here, without sentimentality or melodrama, he confronts it in tales of incidents that may be incommunicable. One might expect a strip portraying Jews as mice, Germans as cats and other people as different kinds of animals to be distracting. But the animals allow one to follow the fable without drowning in horror. The struggle to transform history into art is a central part of the drama here. The reader, sucked into the heart of the maelstrom, develops insights that are beyond the capacity of the characters; that is a mark of Mr. Spiegelman's mastery of narrative.
THE TRUTH ABOUT CHERNOBYL By Grigory Medvedev. Translated by Evelyn Rossiter. Basic Books.
The revelations in this classic in the history of nuclear power are shocking, and its drama is gripping. Grigory Medvedev, chief engineer at Chernobyl when it was built in 1970 and a Soviet Government energy official at the time it exploded in 1986, investigated the explosion on site and interviewed many of its victims before they died of radiation burns. His book begins slowly and somewhat technically, but soon becomes a taut drama; it gives the locations of all the people in the reactor building, along with their fears and doubts second by second, as the monster they tried to control began to rock in a wild dance before it ripped apart, spewing more radiation than any explosion or bomb, ever. If this is a tale of official incompetence, it is also one of the heroism of many men and women who rushed into the facility to rescue the injured and contain damage at the cost of their lives. The implications of this book for the future of nuclear power are chilling.
TWO LIVES "Reading Turgenev" and "My House in Umbria." By William Trevor. Viking.
The beautifully composed surfaces of William Trevor's storytelling in these two novellas are nicely deceptive, for the reader is gently jolted into seeing beneath them the rippling complexities inherent in being human. In one tale a woman is confined to a mental institution after the failure of a doomed marriage from which she had taken refuge in a passionate attachment to her cousin, whose early death not only did not end her fervor but endowed her with a strange freedom. In the other a woman novelist injured in the bombing of a train takes other survivors into her home as she recovers; but as she heals she finds the great injury of her life is her past. In both novellas Mr. Trevor shuffles scenes from the past and the present -- some of them darkly comic -- subtly underlining ways in which these two different lives illuminate each other. In a wry but compassionate way he shows how fragments in the "peepshow of memory" can make up a life.
WARTIME LIES By Louis Begley. Alfred A. Knopf.
In this masterly first novel, Louis Begley, a Manhattan lawyer who as a boy managed to escape the Nazis in his native Poland, tells the tale of Maciek, a Jewish boy who also survives, but at enormous cost. The boy is too young to judge the cruelties he suffers, and his voice has a fine, unguarded authority, especially since the story is framed in the perspective of the cultivated and wary middle-aged man he later becomes. Maciek, whose mother died at his birth, spends the war years in the care of an aunt fiercely determined to survive. From her he learns the terrible discipline of deception at an age when deceit costs him his soul but failure to deceive would cost his life. At the end the man in midlife, faithful to the dark irony of little Maciek's fate, confines his childhood to the empty realm of lies and thus, without saying so, underlines the saving value of fiction, in which lies can be reconciled with truth.
