Edward
Said
The Charisma of Criticism
This insightful critical biography shows us an Edward Said we did not
know. H. Aram Veeser brings forth not the Said of tabloid culture, or
Said the remote philosopher, but the actual man, embedded in the pol¬
itics of the Middle East but soaked in the values of the West and strug¬
gling to advance the best European ideas. Veeser shows the organic ties
connecting his life, politics, and criticism.
Drawing on what he learned over
35
years as Said s student and
skeptical admirer, Veeser uses never-before-published interviews, debate
transcripts, and photographs to discover a Said who had few inhibitions
and loathed conventional routine. He stood for originality, loved unique
ideas, wore marvelous clothes, and fought with molten fury. For twenty
years he embraced and rejected, at the same time, not only the West,
but also literary theory and the
PLO.
At last, his disgust with business-
as-usual politics and criticism marooned him on the sidelines of both.
The candid tale of Said s rise from elite academic precincts to the
world stage transforms not only our understanding of Said
—
the man
and the myth
—
but also our perception of how intellectuals can make
their way in the world.
H. Aram Veeser is Associate Professor at The City College of New
York. He is co-author of Painting Between the Lines
(2001),
and editor
of The New Historicism
(1989),
The New Historicism Reader
(1994),
Confessions of the Critics
(1996),
and The Stanley Fish Reader
(1999).
Besides his work as a writer and critic, Veeser pursues outside interests
that range from drawing and painting to motorcycling and competitive
rowing.
