Walton Muyumba on James Wood's "Narrow Realism"


Walton Muyumba reviews James Wood's The Fun Stuff and Other Essays for the Dallas Morning News:   
"Wood’s skillful examinations have even persuaded some readers to place him in the literary priesthood. No wonder: As his exceptional piece, 'Robert Alter and the King James Bible,' attests, Wood is great when he’s thinking literarily and theologically simultaneously. But Wood is best as an authoritative conversationalist, not an autocratic cultural priest. This new collection is worthy of serious reading; however, it should be argued with — not revered."
