the puttermesser papers

(window.AmazonUIPageJS ? She, like Ozick herself, is an expert on mystical Judaism; Greek philosophy; European literatures, languages, and history; contemporary New York City; and so much more. She is consistently brilliant, charming (in the sense that one is literally "charmed," like in a fairy tale), with an incredible mastery of language. The most compelling section veers off into magical realism (a genre I'm not particularly fond of) when she creates a female golem from the earth in her houseplant pots.

The Golem chapters were insufferable and I almost had to put the book down but it was a short read so I slugged on, finishing with a sigh of relief. (window.AmazonUIPageJS ? Mother, my mother. After I closed this book, it was done. A bit of New York, an interesting character, crazy situation (magical realism) leavened with topicality & creativity. The second half sagged badly for me. In Ozick's book, "The Puttermesser Papers" the reader encounters brilliance, insight and literary wisdom which is perhaps unsurpassed. What kind of reader might appreciate Cynthia Ozick’s brilliantly written yet totally bizarre novel The Puttermesser Papers? (window.AmazonUIPageJS ? Before I begin this review, I should state that Ozick is one of my very favorite authors. Puttermesser contemplates the afterlife and is hurtled into it headlong, only to discover that a paradise found is also paradise lost. Ruth Puttersesser is a wonderful character, and I enjoyed very much learning about her. Puttermesser’s life story fails to include anything much that might resemble the success or happiness or enlightenment we might hope would befall such a brilliant and highly moral protagonist.
