In "The Great Game," poet, critic, translator, & literary omnivore Amit Majmudar writes with verve on canonical authors like Milton, Byron, and Dickinson, contemporaries such as Kay Ryan, and traditions of world literature. He examines verse drama, philosophy, and even writers of popular prose like Ludlum and Bradbury. A radiologist and writer, Majmudar blends precision, imagination, and knowledge to practice literary criticism as a global art, infused with the curiosity of a passionate reader.
