Cynthia Ozick at Nextbooks (4 cents)

We went to see novelist/essayist Cynthia Ozick last night at Nextbooks at the DC Jewish Community Center. She spoke for almost an hour, talking of Philip Roth, Bernard Malamud, Isaac Babel, Gershon Sholem, Israel, the Disapora, Jewish-American writing, American-Jewish writing, A.B. Yehoshua, and even Ted Koppel. I listed very closely to what she said, and my reaction was: "Huh?"
