The Last Amateur
Jonathan Swift, Edward Said, and the Profession of Literature“The Last Amateur is a hugely original and much-anticipated major work by a singular critic. The wager of the book, developed over a series of intricate readings and reflections that sit somewhere between memoir and critical argument, is that reading Swift through Said and Said through Swift transforms both—and, I think, us, as well. The Last Amateur makes good on this ambitious wager. The force of Deutsch’s claim comes from what it reveals about each of these writers and a set of important questions or commitments they share: about the practice of criticism and the role of the critic, the relationship between cultural traditions and a radically different future, and the relationship between the humanities and freedom.”
