Tekst achterflap

Authorised by the author's Estate, Timothy Brennan's landmark biography will trace Edward Said's output during each era of his life and illuminate his relationship with those thinkers essential to his formation. In a world of sectarian conflict, Said championed the importance of contradictions and resolutions, reaching for new ways to conceive of human relationships.



Brennan's strikingly brilliant biography does justice to Said's legacy, striking a blow for the authority of literature and the humanities which Said fought so valiantly to position ?at the heart of American political debate'.
