If every outlet for book criticism suddenly disappeared ... if all we had were reviews that treated books like any other commodity ... could the novel survive? In a gauntlet-throwing essay at the start of this brilliant assemblage, Cynthia Ozick stakes the claim that, just as surely as critics require a steady supply of new fiction, novelists need great critics to build a vibrant community on the foundation of literary history.
