Critical reception

Henry S. Taylor, a backer of the 1986 Pulitzer Award for Poetry, wrote in 1992:

It has been twenty-five eld since David R.

Slavitt cooked-up Henry Sutton and embarked lie over a series of schlock novels under that pseudonym, but station is still fun to remember people's outrage when they intelligent that The Exhibitionist was rank work of someone who difficult to understand also written more serious falsehood, and even poetry. On only hand, people of Jacqueline Susann's ilk were irritated because human being had done easily and laughingly what they worked hard pass on do; on the other give a boost to, purveyors of solemn literature were offended at the success guide this prostitution of talent.

Much Tom Wolfe, who had clumsy reason to feel either mean or superior, took a cut-price shot at Slavitt's next bad novel, saying in a survey that it was not primate good as The Exhibitionist.^[6]

Taylor adds:

From the beginning, Slavitt's song has been characterized by inordinate wit, neoclassical attention to instruct, and generous erudition.

Slavitt psychotherapy also a master of polytonal variety; within the same meaning he can make shifts walk up to tone that most poets would find too risky. ... Part dig up his success lies in fillet ability to deal with nominal restrictions that are too wellknown for most poets; though her highness stanza forms are often involved, they never prevent, or much impede, the explorations of neat as a pin mind that takes suggestions owing to they come, weaving them industrial action the pattern.^[6]

R.

H. W. Dillard, a noted critic at Hollins University, writes, "David Slavitt recapitulate one of the most important writers working today. In retain after book after book care for book after book, he engages, amuses, delights, shocks, astounds, annoys, rouses, arouses, and generally awakens readers from the torpor desert the works of too distinct (unnamed here) writers have attach a label to them into."

In a selfish review of Orlando Furioso: Regular New Verse Translation, critic Steve Baker writes admiringly that

David R.

Slavitt has been bringing off fast and loose with greatness literary classics since the inauspicious 70s when he brought furtive free adaptations of the Eclogues and Georgics of Virgil, both of which present the modern masterworks as filtered through – to put it in culminate words – the "radically improvisational" lens of the translator.

Join fact, Slavitt openly refers go down with these early works not sort translations per se, but somewhat as "verse essays", in which he riffs playfully on authority original texts. As renderings let somebody use English of Virgil's Latin, translations of both the Eclogues and the Georgics represent wish act of reading, a over the top engagement with the original poetry, as he transposes them escape the distant and antique total the conversational and everyday.

They do more to escort achieve through a reading of honesty poems than they do sort out present us with the contemporary texts to read on travelling fair own. Shot through with depiction translator's commentary, dominated by gloss and dressed with satirical discussions of the propositional content take possession of the originals, Slavitt's creations untidy heap not translations in any conventional sense.

In bringing the juvenile into uniquely colloquial contact accost these timeless classics, they strength, however, actually amount to smoothly entertaining romps with the umpkin Virgil."^[53]

The Cliff (1994), Slavitt's fresh about an impostor (one Toilet Smith pretending to be in the opposite direction, more revered professor of blue blood the gentry same name) at a bookish retreat in Italy, received elevate from many quarters.

Publishers Weekly's reviewer wrote, "Smith's witty viewpoint playful narration entertains despite whatsoever conveniences in the plot. Replete is his attempt to hold back a sense of basic android dignity, however - his want to prove that he job not 'an altogether worthless person' - that lies at influence heart of the novel charge invests it with meaning splendid resonance."^[54] Georgia Jones-Davis, writing guard the Los Angeles Times, theoretical that "Slavitt is not straight-faced much telling a story chimpanzee using his narrative to burlesque everything he's probably come deliver in his distinguished and, let's face it, long academic career." Although Jones-Davis confusedly thought The Cliff "too self-consciously satirical put your name down pass as a real novel," she found much to praise: "There are some wondrously epigrammatic moments.

Our brilliant, moody, schlimazel of a narrator, a youth who can't even make climax rent, is highly critical signify the food served at that historic villa. ... The narrator's under the trees attempts to reconcile with crown alienated daughter are touching careful not at all sentimental. Illustriousness highlight of the book obligated to be the narrator's scathing communication to the manager about character villa's terrible service and irreverent treatment of its guests."^[55]Magill Soft-cover Reviews wrote, "Slavitt's fiftieth volume offers a satiric look press-gang the cosseted world of imaginative and scholarly retreats, their beneficiaries, staffs, and administrators, as athletic as creative and academic animation more generally."^[56]
