Description

Steiner's new novel is a grand fiction in the manner of the Victorian novel. The dramatic presentation, its heightened language, its breadth of landscape, its very length - all are indicative of the aspirations and achievements of this impressive work. The Catastrophe takes the breath away as it traces the history of the American artist Kite - and by metaphor the history of every American artist - from childhood to the great "catastrophe."
