What is less well known is that Kazin had been contributing almost daily to an extensive private journal, which arguably contains some of his best writing. These journals collectively tell the story of his journey from Brooklyn's Brownsville neighborhood to his position as a dominant figure in twentieth-century cultural life. To Kazin, the daily entry was a psychological and spiritual act. To read through these entries is to reexperience history as a series of daily discoveries by an alert, adventurous, if often mercurial intelligence. It is also to encounter an array of interesting and notable personalities. Sketches of friends, mistresses, family figures, and other intellectuals are woven in with commentary on Kazin's childhood, early religious interests, problems with parents, bouts of loneliness, dealings with publishers, and thoughts on the Holocaust. The journals also highlight his engagement with the political and cultural debates of the decades through which he lived. He wrestles with communism, cultural nationalism, liberalism, existentialism, Israel, modernism, and much more. Judiciously selected and edited by acclaimed Kazin biographer Richard Cook, this collection provides the public with access to these previously unavailable writings and, in doing so, offers a fascinating social, historical, literary, and cultural record. 000438083 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438083 60010 $$aKazin, Alfred,$$d1915-1998$$vDiaries. 000438083 650_0 $$aCritics$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000438083 7001_ $$aCook, Richard M.,$$d1941- 000438083 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKazin, Alfred, 1915-1988.$$tAlfred Kazin's journals.$$dNew Haven : Yale University Press, 2011$$z9780300142037$$w(DLC) 2010045254$$w(OCoLC)670481407 000438083 8520_ $$bacq 000438083 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000438083 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000438083 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3420690$$zOnline Access 000438083 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3420690$$zOnline Access 000438083 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:438083$$pGLOBAL_SET 000438083 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000438083 980__ $$aBIB 000438083 982__ $$aEbook 000438083 983__ $$aOnline
