"Trilling's beautifully composed novel is set in the late 1930s, when the communist dream embraced by Slesinger's characters was stripped bare by the emerging facts of Stalin's atrocities…Just as Slesinger in her comic world unites politics and sex, so Trilling in his tragic one fuses politics with death." - Sam Tanenhaus, The Boston Globe "…this moody document of a vanished intelligentsia anticipates the deepening crisis of the left in the McCarthy years." - Publishers Weekly "Lionel Trilling's The Middle of the Journey is a searching account of the liberal's dilemma of conscience in a world surrendering to extremes of dogma, an important first novel by a distinguished critic….Mr. Trilling has sounded a new note of dissent, a more realistic and mature one than the frantic reformism of the thirties and the sterile disillusionment of the twenties." - The Atlantic Monthly "A depth that recalls Dostoyevsky and a subtlety worthy of Henry James." - Listener, "Trilling’s beautifully composed novel is set in the late 1930s, when the communist dream embraced by Slesinger’s characters was stripped bare by the emerging facts of Stalin’s atrocities&Just as Slesinger in her comic world unites politics and sex, so Trilling in his tragic one fuses politics with death." - Sam Tanenhaus, The Boston Globe "&this moody document of a vanished intelligentsia anticipates the deepening crisis of the left in the McCarthy years." - Publishers Weekly "Lionel Trilling’s The Middle of the Journey is a searching account of the liberal’s dilemma of conscience in a world surrendering to extremes of dogma, an important first novel by a distinguished critic&.Mr. Trilling has sounded a new note of dissent, a more realistic and mature one than the frantic reformism of the thirties and the sterile disillusionment of the twenties." - The Atlantic Monthly "A depth that recalls Dostoyevsky and a subtlety worthy of Henry James." - Listener

Synopsis
Published in 1947, as the cold war was heating up, Lionel Trilling's only novel was a prophetic reckoning with the bitter ideological disputes that were to come to a head in the McCarthy era. The Middle of the Journey revolves around a political turncoat and the anger his action awakens among a group of intellectuals summering in Connecticut. The story, however, is less concerned with the rights and wrongs of left and right than with an absence of integrity at the very heart of the debate. Certainly the hero, John Laskell, staging a slow recovery from the death of his lover and a near-fatal illness of his own, comes to suspect that the conflicts and commitments involved are little more than a distraction from the real responsibilities, and terrors, of the common world. A detailed, sometimes slyly humorous, picture of the manners and mores of the intelligentsia, as well as a work of surprising tenderness and ultimately tragic import, The Middle of the Journey is a novel of ideas whose quiet resonance has only grown with time. This is a deeply troubling examination of America by one of its greatest critics., Published in 1947, as the cold war was heating up, Lionel Trilling's only novel was a prophetic reckoning with the bitter ideological disputes that were to come to a head in the McCarthy era.

- o***9 (309)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem took too long to get shipped. I had a tracking number 6 days before item was given to post office. Once the usps had the package it arrived quickly. Item was as described and was packed very well. Customer service was responsive. If I knew that seller took so long to ship I would not have bought item from them. Nowhere does it say on the sellers site that they take 5-7 days to ship. That is rediculous. Anyhow. The old tape deck i bought works. Once belts are replaced it should be good.
