Leslie Fiedler quotes
" All good criticism should be judged the way art is. You shouldn't read it the way you read history or science. "

Leslie Fiedler
" Anybody in the next centuries wanting to know what it was like to be a poet in the middle of the 20th century should read Kaddish. "

Leslie Fiedler
" Baldwin, we got to be friends. I like what he did when he started. I like the early fiction and essays. He wrote frankly about the blacks that I think of as black Jews. "

Leslie Fiedler
" Cooper discovered that if people wanted to get a novel written by an English woman, they'd go to England and get one. "

Leslie Fiedler
" Cooper wrote a novel which is absolutely indistinguishable from Austen, completely from a female point of view, completely English, no sense that he was an American. "

Leslie Fiedler
" Critics? How do they happen? I know how it happened to me. I would send a poem or story to a magazine and they would say this doesn't suit our needs precisely but on the other hand you sound interesting. Would you be interested in doing a review? "

Leslie Fiedler
" DeLillo is one of the few contemporary novelists who still has enthusiastic followers. "

Leslie Fiedler
" DeLillo never seems committed to me to what he is writing. Very nice surfaces, but he's got nothing underneath. "

Leslie Fiedler
" Faulkner sat in our living room and read from Light in August. That was incredible. "

Leslie Fiedler
" Faulkner turned out to be a great teacher. When a student asked a question ineptly, he answered the question with what the student had really wanted to know. "

Leslie Fiedler
" Faulkner turned out to be great. At the public occasion, he was terrible. He was very small, really tiny, and we had built up a place for him to stand so his head would come up to the mike. "

Leslie Fiedler
" Foucault was the one person I met in France that I could talk to. He was a mensch. You know whether you agree with him or not because you know what he is saying. "

Leslie Fiedler
" Gertrude Stein really thought of Hemingway as frail. He almost married Stein. "

Leslie Fiedler
" Grace Paley is not in the front of anyone's consciousness, but when you talk, she makes everyone's list. "

Leslie Fiedler
" Hemingway seems to be in a funny position. People nowadays can't identify with him closely as a member of their own generation, and he isn't yet historical. "
