In this fascinating book, Edward Said looks at the creative contradictions that often mark the late works of literary and musical artists. Said shows how the approaching death of an artist can make its way into his work, examining essays, poems, novels, films, and operas by such artists as Beethoven, Genet, Mozart, Lampedusa, Euripides, Cavafy, and Mann, among others. He uncovers the conflicts and complexity that often distinguish artistic lateness, resulting in works that stood in direct contrast to what was popular at the time and were forerunners of what was to come in each artist's discipline-works of true genius. Eloquent and impassioned, brilliantly reasoned and revelatory, On Late Style is Edward Said's own great last work.

Review:
"These studies . . . buzz with excitement and intelligence and demonstrate what his admirers already knew, the extraordinary range of Said's intellectual interests." --Frank Kermode, London Review of Books"Brilliant. . . . This gracefully unquiet, probing and wise book [is] Said's own elegiac masterpiece of late style." --Financial Times"Fascinating and stimulating. . . . Said, as with the best writers, is someone you like to spend time with. . . . This book is a fine monument to his life and work." --The New Statesman"His critic's eye remain[s] original and compelling." --Wilson Quarterly
