From the publisher:

The Ukrainian reader is offered for the first time a collection of essays by Cynthia Ozick, a well-known contemporary American writer, winner of many literary awards. This is a collage of texts included in the five main volumes of the essayist's work, which reflects the evolution of her literary and philosophical views. Ozick exists at the intersection of her three roles as "rabbi, feminist, and follower of Henry James." This selection presents texts that demonstrate all three of these roles. The choice of texts is dictated by an attempt to show as much as possible the dynamic and not so smooth dialogue between these roles, which balancing act dictates the thematic focus of Cynthia Ozick's fiction and criticism. These hypostases also push the writer to search for a symbolic language to express the new identity formed at their intersection, which had no place in the old literary canon. Readers will be interested in Ozik's reflections on the hesitation between cultural universality and national distinctiveness, as well as her examples of curious but critical readings of problematic pages of cultural heritage.
