| Zusammenfassung: | "Robert Boyers' memoir of his fifty years of friendship with Susan Sontag and George Steiner offers a revelatory, personal perspective on two of America's most influential thinkers. As the founding editor of the celebrated literary magazine Salmagundi, Boyers met Sontag shortly after he published an essay on her work. For many years she collaborated with him and his wife, Peg, on Salmagundi symposia, the New York State Summer Writers Institutes, and other literary events. In 1965 Boyers successfully petitioned the eminent literary critic and future New Yorker essayist George Steiner for a place in his New York University seminar. That fateful course led to an enduring friendship, a transcontinental correspondence, and proliferating connections with other renowned intellectuals. What emerges in Maestros and Monsters are compelling life stories and reflections on admiration, friendship, and the will to power of these two renowned intellects. Though a steadfast friend to both Sontag and Steiner, Boyers recounts their mutual antipathy as well as their combustible but always intellectually engrossing interactions with many other luminaries, among them Nadine Gordimer, Christopher Hitchens, Irving Howe, Christopher Lasch, Arthur Koestler, Philip Rieff, Edward Said, and James Wood. If Sontag and Steiner often tested Boyers' patience, his loyalty was always rewarded with their unwavering trust"-- |
