Book Synopsis The Bloody Crossroads by : Norman Podhoretz

Book excerpt: America's most outspoken neoconservative intellectual, Norman Podhoretz examines the political implications of literary works and the literary dimensions of political ones. Here, in a gathering of controversial essays, he evaluates the political relevance of such writers as Orwell, Camus, Solzhenitsyn, and Kissinger, and explores the literary and cultural dimensions of the struggle between totalitarianism and the democratic West. Podhoretz stresses the autonomy of literature and politics, and does not permit political criticism to obscure literary merit, or literary merit to blunt political criticism. He explains why Arthur Koestler's The God That Failed failed; maintains that Henry Adams merits his recent obscurity; admires Kissinger's memoirs; discusses the politicization in America of Milan Kundera's work; and suggests that if Orwell were alive today, he would take his stand with the neoconservatives.
