The Art of Time in Fiction: As Long As It Takes
by Joan Silber
This is the second book that I have read in the Graywolf Press series of essays on fiction and other genres .In my opinion this one is not as interesting or entertaining as Stacey D'Erasmo's "The Art of Intimacy." However, the one segment of Joan Silber's book that I did enjoy and appreciate was her reference to and discussion of Virginia Woolf's "To the Lighthouse," one of my all-time favorite pieces of literature. So I was confused and disappointed when she omitted Woolf's novel from Works Discussed, which appears in the final pages. Actually I tried to contact the author about this through Graywolf but I never got a response.
