What Stride?

'The Poems of Charles Reznikoff 1918-1975'
Review by JOSHUA CLOVER
"...Charles Reznikoff was 47 when he hit his stride; few if any poets, save fellow lawyer Wallace Stevens, came into their own so late. ..."

'The Female of the Species,' by Joyce Carol Oates
Review by HILLARY FREY
In Joyce Carol Oates's latest collection, the girl next door is likely to be a killer.

ALSO REVIEWED THIS WEEK

Review by CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS
Flaubert's last novel features a couple of comic buffoons who prove that a little learning is a dangerous thing.
