The Ending of The Trial
What are Jews for
He Contemplates a Photograph in a Newspaper
It takes time to look at an image. He spreads the paper flat on his desk and leans over it to try and get a better view of the small black and white photograph in the top right hand corner which has caught his attention
Brothers
He climbs the stairs. I know him by his tread. My brother! The door creaks a little as he pushes it. Now he steps inside and says hello. He stands by the door and looks round. What a funny place to be, he says. Not the house, he adds. The house is very nice. Very nice indeed, as far as I can judge. But why do you sit here in the dusk like that? I knew it was you, I tell him. He comes forward into the room. There is nowhere for him to sit
The teller & the tale
"We seem to live, intellectually and emotionally, in sealed-off universes," writes Gabriel Jospiovici in an essay on Hebrew poetry in medieval Spain, just one in a lively multiverse of writings gathered in The Teller and the Tale. The book draws on a quarter of a century's worth of critical reflection on modern art and literature, Biblical culture, Jewish theology, European idenitty, the nature of beiginnings, and the bittersweetness of writing f…
The Future of Literary Thinking
All good writing takes us somewhere uncomfortable. One of the great services given by Textual Practice over the past 30 years has been to create a comfortable place for uncomfortable criticism. Yet right now, it is not writing but the world itself that is proving incommodious. What should criticism be doing in a political culture that has embraced hostility
What Ever Happened to Modernism?
Egyptian Memories
This is an excerpt from Gabriel Josipovici's life of his mother, Rabinovitch, who died in 1996 at the age of eighty-five. Sacha and her elder sister Vera, known as Chickie, were born in Helwan, near Cairo, in 1910 and 1909 respectively. Their father, a Jewish doctor from Odessa, died when the children were five and six, their mother was carried away by the epidemic which swept Egypt when they were ten and eleven. The greatest influence on the two…
Touch
Touch
In this new book, a preeminent literary thinker muses over the central question of how we can feel at home in the world, given that the world is independent of and indifferent to our wishes. Drawing on books and films, cultural history and his own experiences, Gabriel Josipovici argues that it is possible to feel comfortable in the world and in our relationships with others only if we value touch over sight, if we respect distance but also work t…

Writing, Reading, and the Study of Literature
M R. VICE-CHANCELLOR, Ladies, Gentlemen, Some of you may have been present on another such occasion, three years ago, when Jonathan Harvey delivered his inaugural lecture as professor of music at this University. If you were, you will recall that Jonathan began his lecture with a massive disclaimer: am a composer first foremost, he said in effect, and so you will have to forgive me if I do not talk very well, for talking does not come naturally t…
Describing the Present
Like Christopher Butler's recent After the Wake,* Horizons of Assent is an ambitious attempt to chart the transition from what we might call the era of High Modernism to that of Postmodernism. I will try later to give reasons for my dissatisfaction with these terms, but they are by now sufficiently current in academic writing to be useful in giving an idea of what these books are about. Both Butler and Wilde come through as highly cultured men, a…
