NY Sun, Arts & Letters:
Not the Roman, but the Latin Empire. “When Philip Roth or Saul Bellow unspools a sentence that you think cannot go on one word longer, but somehow does, before it stops, turns back on itself, and leaves us in awe, surely neither has Cicero in mind. But as we catch our breath, we might spare a thought for the language that gave our own this capacity to ravish.” T’ain’t no language like a dead one. I had six years of it.
