 | | Although Josipovici's early short fiction, which won him the Somerset Maugham Award in 1975, is technically extremely versatile and innovative, and therefore answers to the label from a formal perspective, the author's later fiction no longer obtrudes formal solicisms on the reader and should therefore be exempted from this type of criticism. |
 | | In any case, the oeuvre of Josipovici has, in the meantime, reached a critical mass which requires that one take it seriously, particularly since Josipovici has remained faithful to his artistic views with admirable tenacity and refuses to be swayed by the popular vote. |
 | | His art, he says, is resolutely modern, and he compares its modernism to that of the major authors and visual artists of the early twentieth century: Kafka and Beckett, Picasso, Duchamps. |
