In Reading for Fun, Alison Lurie considers some of the most brilliant and original American and British writers of the last hundred years, including Henry James, Doris Lessing, John Updike, Mary McCarthy, Anthony Powell, Angela Carter, and Garrison Keillor—some of whom she has known personally. Their best works combine both tragedy and comedy, supernatural events and social realism—and they are all fun to read.
