Walking Possession: Essays and Reviews, 1968-1993 Book

Perhaps best known for The Search of J.D. Salinger, a book that incurred the wrath of its subject and his lawyers, literary critic Ian Hamilton collects more than three dozen essays from three decades in this volume. Ranging from reviews of Portnoy's Complaint and Terry Southern's Candy to essays on Seamus Heaney, Robert Frost, and Philip Larkin, and even including some forays into the world of sport, Hamilton's essays are always intelligent and frequently humorous.Read More
