Summary

Sea Battles on Dry Land gathers the best of Brodkey's essays into a single volume--among them lighthearted Talk of the Town pieces, the prophetic Notes on American Fascism, and a profile of Frank O'Hara, one of the most eloquent portraits of a legendary American writer. Gifted with a capacious and searching intelligence, Brodkey was equally skilled at writing film reviews, celebrity profiles, and erudite discourses on the nature of fiction. Sea Battles on Dry Land provides some of the finest critical writing of our era and will remain an essential collection for many years to come
