   Extractions: Mark Helprin If I had to be reincarnated as a right-wing Jewish magic-realist with a chip on my shoulder, Mark Helprin would be my first choice. Reviewing Helprin's novel Winter's Tale in the New York Times Book Review, critic Benjamin DeMott wrote: "I find myself nervous, to a degree I don't recall in my past as a reviewer, about failing the work, inadequately displaying its brilliance." Though I consider Winter's Tale to be a brilliant failure (see below), I understand where DeMott was coming from. Even at his worst, Helprin is head and shoulders above most of his contemporaries; he's that good. He is also novel Refiner's Fire contains a hilarious but largely gratuitious scene in which a pair of militant Berkeley lesbians are lectured on the virtues of family and then dismissed as "self-centered gherkins, riding an endless corkscrew"), Helprin is no doubt regarded as an ideological heretic by a great many lefties. But ideology aside, the fact is he has a hard-on for insulting people. Like the rest of his writing, his insults are generally a pleasure to read—but no matter how good a writer you are, if you insist on calling your literary peers "wimpy," "weak minded," and "debilitated," you have to expect a certain amount of return hostility; and if, even in jest, you refer to the staff of The New York Review of Books

    Extractions: In 1998 I was commissioned to revise and update the Mark Helprin entry in the Dictionary of Literary Biography. Although I was aware of Mr Helprin's fiction, I did not have a complete grasp of all of his political and social commentary. The first drafts of this bibliography emerged from this research. When I first released this bibliography to the Web I bravely stated that "this document aspires to be a comprehensive bibliography of Mark Helprin's novels, short stories, newspaper and journal commentaries, as well as indicating where some of the short stories first saw the light of day." I now think that this claim to comprehensiveness was misplaced for two reasons. First, many of the commentary articles were reprinted, often around the world, which can be confusing. Second, many of the short story pieces have also been reprinted. Mr. Helprin's first published short story was "Because of the Waters of the Flood" in the September 27, 1969 issue of the The New Yorker Magazine . It is collected in A Dove of the East and Other Stories (Knopf, 1975). Similarly, many of his short stories that first saw the light of day in magazines have been collected in either

    Extractions: By Mark Helprin, from the April 22, 2002, issue of National Review f bin Laden is alive, he may believe that, since September 11, the United States has become more vulnerable to terrorists, to rising states, and to new coalitions that see in America's careless delusions about its powers and prospects an irresistible opening for their own. And if he did believe such a thing, he would be right, though not for the first time, as you may recall. It was he, after all, who watched for decades as this country was urged to strike at terrorists and the regimes that sustained them, and did not; as it was warned of Muslim religious fanatics piloting jets into its tallest buildings, and did nothing; as it suffered attacks upon its aviation, embassies, navy, and greatest city, and answered not by acts of war but in torrents of language, and gobbledygook at that. But then in a month, and with fewer casualties than on a bad weekend in Houston, we subdued a country where the Soviets could make no headway in ten years, and quickly jumped to the conclusion that we now possess a revolutionary form of military power that we can direct wherever we please. We have been told, and we accept, that as we develop this wondrous power, spending as much for defense as the rest of the world combined, we should be content that our government is responding appropriately to the attacks of September 11 and making adequate preparation in regard to dangers to come. Would that this were so. It is not.

15. Against The Dehumanization Of Art By Mark Helprin

    Extractions: by Mark Helprin A s a junior in college in 1968 ( A.D. Though The Dehumanization of Art The Dehumanization of Art But I was shocked to discover that it was a spirited endorsement of the principles that I had expected it to condemn. In fact, it was in some ways the Gettysburg Address of Modernism: as an erudite and magnanimous capitulation of the old to the young, it seemed to the generation of 1968 to have been both wise and noble. Though first published in Spain in 1925, it had in the Sixties an air of being bravely at the forefront of changes to which only foolish reactionaries might object. Strangely enough, it has that air even today, when everything in it has been leaden orthodoxy for nearly a hundred years. In art as in politics, entrenched institutions with an affinity for survival give off the scent of revolution even as they sustain a suffocating order. Like the oxymoronic Institutionalized Revolutionary Party , which for most of this century has rigged every election and tightened every cap on every tube of toothpaste in Mexico, the conscious adherents of modernism (most are unconscious) like to think that they are revolutionaries. Art that imitates the rigor of science forgoes an infinite wealth of variables that pure nature, in its constancy and nobility, does not present, for if man is more limited in his capacities he is more interesting in his unpredictability. Art that accepts human limitations is empowered and enriched by the very discipline that the modernists ignore.

    Extractions: Monday, May 17, 2004 12:01 a.m. EDT Though America has condemned the cruelties of Abu Ghraib, they remain nonetheless a symbol of the inescapable fact that the war has been run incompetently, with an apparently deliberate contempt for history, strategy, and thought, and with too little regard for the American soldier, whose mounting casualties seem to have no effect on the boastfulness of the civilian leadership. Before the war's inception, and even after September 11, the Bush administration, having promised to correct its predecessor's depredations of the military, failed to do so. The president failed to go to Congress on September 12 to ask for a declaration of war, failed to ask Congress when he did go before it for the tools with which to fight, and has failed consistently to ask the American people for sacrifice. And yet their sons, mainly, are sacrificed in Iraq day by day. When soldiers are killed because they do not have equipment (in the words of a returning officer, "not enough vehicles, not enough munitions, not enough medical supplies, not enough water"), when reservists are retained for years, and rotations canceled, it is the consequence of a fiscal policy that seems more attuned to the electoral landscape of 2004 than to the national security of the United States. Were the U.S. to devote the same percentage of its GNP to defense as it did during the peacetime years of the last half-century, and the military budget return to this unremarkable level, we would be spending (apart from the purely operational costs of the war) almost twice what we are spending now.
