Admittedly, his liberal humanist's embrace of pluralism, and his inability to say anything negative about any writer, often led to broad generalizations and at least the appearance of a maddening, at times Pollyanna-ish lack of discrimination. These, however, were risks he was quite willing to run in order to further the cause of keeping serious fiction alive and accessible, in spite of the forces arrayed against it. Rather than turn away from the postmodern crises of representation,...
