Paul Fussell, Literary Scholar and Critic, Is Dead at 88

Paul Fussell, the wide-ranging, stingingly opinionated literary scholar and cultural critic whose admiration for Samuel Johnson, Kingsley Amis and the Boy Scout Handbook and his withering scorn for the romanticization of war, the predominance of television and much of American society were dispensed in more than 20 books, died on Wednesday in Medford, Ore. He was 88.

His stepson Cole Behringer said he died of natural causes in the long-term care facility where he had spent the last two years.

From the 1950s into 1970s, Mr. Fussell followed a conventional academic path, teaching and writing on literary topics, specializing in 18th-century British poetry and prose. But his career changed in 1975, when he published “The Great War and Modern Memory,” a monumental study of World War I and how its horrors fostered a disillusioned modernist sensibility.

“The Great War,” a work that drew on Mr. Fussell’s own bloody experience as an infantryman during World War II, won both the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism and the National Book Award for Arts and Letters.

Fussell’s influence was huge, Vincent B. Sherry wrote in “The Cambridge Companion to the Literature of the First World War.” “The book’s ambition and popularity move interpretation of the war from a relatively minor literary and historical specialization to a much more widespread cultural concern. His claims for the meaning of the war are profound and far-reaching; indeed, some have found them hyperbolic. Yet, whether in spite of or because of the enormity of his assertions, Fussell has set the agenda for most of the criticism that has followed him.”

The lavish praise and commercial success of “The Great War” transformed Mr. Fussell into a public intellectual, or perhaps more accurately a public curmudgeon; he crabbed, for instance, about Graham Greene’s “inability to master English syntax.” Mr. Fussell brought an erudition, a gift for readable prose, a willingness to offend and, as many critics noted, a whiff of snobbery to subjects like class, clothing, the dumbing down of American culture and the literature of travel.

“Abroad: British Literary Traveling Between the Wars” (1980) examined a tradition in writing rarely examined by scholars, and it was hailed for its critical acumen, though it also includes a rant against tourists and tourism, which he decries as the antithesis of ennobling travel and the bane of real travelers.

“ ‘Abroad’ is an exemplary piece of criticism,” Jonathan Raban wrote on the cover of The New York Times Book Review. “It is immensely readable. It bristles with ideas. It disinters a real lost masterpiece from the library stacks. It admits a whole area of writing — at last! — to its proper place in literary history. Its general thesis is, I think, wrongheaded, even mean, but Mr. Fussell argues it with such force and clarity that he makes it a pleasure to quarrel with him.”

In “Class: A Guide Through the American Status System” (1983), he divided American society into nine strata — from the idle rich (“the top out-of-sight”) to the institutionalized and imprisoned (“the bottom out-of-sight”) — and offered a comprehensive and often witty tour through the observable habits of each.

“Not smoking at all is very upper-class,” he wrote, “but in any way calling attention to one’s abstinence drops one to middle-class immediately.”

In “BAD: Or, the Dumbing of America” (1991), he offered an alphabetically organized jeremiad against everything “phony, clumsy, witless, untalented, vacant or boring” in this country “that many Americans can be persuaded is genuine, graceful, bright or fascinating.”

“Dismal food is bad,” he wrote. “Dismal food pretentiously served in a restaurant associated with the word ‘gourmet’ is BAD. Being alert to this distinction is a large part of the fun of being alive today, in a moment teeming with raucously overvalued emptiness and trash.”

Paul Fussell Jr., was born into an affluent family in Pasadena, Calif., on March 22, 1924. His father was a prominent lawyer. Paul attended Pomona College, from which he was drafted by the Army in 1943. Too late for the Allied invasion at Normandy, he nevertheless saw brutal action in Europe, where, in southeastern France, at age 20, he lay wounded while men under his command were being killed in an artillery barrage.

“Before that day was over I was sprayed with the contents of a soldier’s torso when I was lying behind him and he knelt to fire at a machine-gun holding us up; he was struck in the heart and out of the holes in the back of his field jacket flew little clouds of blood, tissue and powdered cloth,” Mr. Fussell wrote in a 1982 essay in Harper’s Magazine called “My War.” “Near him another man raised himself to fire, but the machine gun caught him in the mouth, and as he fell he looked back at me with surprise, blood and teeth dribbling out onto the leaves.”

During his tour of duty he won the Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts — he was wounded in the back and legs — and he emerged with a disdain for those who would justify wars, especially those who never fought. He hammered the point in “The Great War” and other books, including “Wartime: Understanding and Behavior in the Second World War” (1989), a relentless chronicle of everything that was dreadful or repugnant about the soldiering experience in World War II, and a memoir, “Doing Battle: The Making of a Skeptic” (1996).

Returning to Pomona in 1945, he earned his bachelor of arts degree in 1947 and went on to Harvard to earn a master’s and a doctorate in English. At Harvard he developed a disdain for academia akin to what he felt for the military. “From the 1950s on,” he wrote in “Doing Battle,” “my presiding emotion was annoyance, often intensifying to virtually disabling anger.”

Nonetheless, he pursued an academic career, teaching English first at Connecticut College for Women, then at Rutgers University and finally at the University of Pennsylvania. Among his many academic books were “The Rhetorical World of Augustan Humanism: Ethics and Imagery from Swift to Burke” (1965), “Poetic Meter and Poetic Form” (1965; revised, 1979), and “Samuel Johnson and the Life of Writing” (1971).

These were books, he would later recall, that he was “supposed to write.” Then it struck him that he might reach a wider audience by comparing the art and literature created in response to earlier wars with that inspired by World War I. What he discovered was a deep fissure between the romantic views of the past, which saw warfare as a stage for gallantry and heroism, and the disillusionment bred by the shocking slaughter and grim hopelessness of trench warfare, the hallmark of “the great war.”

World War I’s chief cultural product was irony, Mr. Fussell found, as illustrated by the muttering, cynical language of the men on the battle lines and their governments’ fatuous appeals to patriotism. Popular and serious culture afterward was infused with “the sense of absurdity, disjuncture and polarization, the loathing of duly constituted authorities,” as the critic Robert Hughes wrote in a Time magazine review.

“Every war is ironic, because every war is worse than expected,” Mr. Fussell wrote. “Every war constitutes an irony of situation, because its means are so melodramatically disproportionate to its ends. Eight million people were destroyed because two persons, the archduke Francis Ferdinand and his consort, had been shot.”

Mr. Fussell’s marriage to the former Betty Ellen Harper, who later became known for writing about food under the name Betty Fussell, ended in divorce. (Ms. Fussell, in a 1999 memoir, “My Kitchen Wars,” wrote scathingly about their marriage.) He is survived by their two children, Sam and Rosalind Fussell; his wife, Harriette Behringer; four stepchildren, Cole, Rocklin, Marcy and Liese Behringer; a sister, Florence Fussell-Lind; 10 step-grandchildren and 6 step-great-grandchildren.

As caustic as Mr. Fussell could be about war (and many other things), he believed that the psychic wounds he sustained in battle were not only indelible but also beneficial.

“As I say in this new book of mine, not merely did I learn to kill,” he told Sheldon Hackney, who was then chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, in a 1996 interview about “Doing Battle.” “But I learned to enjoy the prospect of killing,” he added.

“You learn that you have much wider dimensions than you had imagined before you had to fight a war. That’s salutary. It’s well to know exactly who you are, so you can conduct the rest of your life properly.”

Paul Fussell, 88, Writer, Penn prof

by Robert Moran, Inquirer Staff Writer

Paul Fussell, 88, an acclaimed author of books on war, poetry, and class, and a professor emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania, died Wednesday, May 23, in Medford, Ore., of natural causes.

His stepson Cole Behringer said Mr. Fussell died at a long-term care home in Medford, where he eventually relocated with his wife, Harriet Behringer-Fussell, after moving from Philadelphia in 2008.

Fussell's 1975 book, "The Great War and Modern Memory," about the myths of World War I and the war's impact on literature, won the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and Modern Library publishing house named it one of the 20th century's best non-fiction books.

He joined the faculty of Penn in the early 1980s and retired? ? about a decade later. For years he and his wife lived in an apartment on Walnut Street near Rittenhouse Square.

Mr. Fussell was born and raised in Pasadena, Calif., and attended Pasadena Junior College and Pomona College before being shipped off to Europe to fight in World War II, for which he was awarded the Bronze Star and two purple hearts. After the war he completed his studies at Pomona College and later received a Ph.D. in 18th-century English literature from Harvard University.

He had two children, Rosalind and Sam, with his first wife, Betty Harper.

Mr. Fussell taught at Connecticut College and Rutgers University before arriving at Penn.

In a 1982 article in the Washington Post, a writer declared the colorfully opinionated Mr. Fussell "the nation's newest world-class curmudgeon." Mr. Fussell had just written an essay, "Notes on Class," that he planned to expand into a book.

He broadened that reputation with his 1991 book, "BAD: or The Dumbing of America,"

"Jeremiads about the decline of America are not in especially short supply, but when the Jeremiah is Paul Fussell ... attention must be paid," wrote Christopher Buckley in the New York Times. "What he likes about the United states would fit comfortably under a gerbil’s paw."

Mr. Fussell would return to writing about war, and criticized historian Stephen Ambrose, filmmaker Stephen Spielberg, and news anchor Tom Brokaw for being what he called "military romanticists."

He appeared in Ken Burn' 2007 documentary, "The War."

In addition to his two children, Mr. Fussell is survived by his wife; a sister, Florence Lind; and four stepchildren.

Memorial service arrangements are pending.

Motive Sought For Slaying In Parking Lot

Police yesterday were trying to find a motive for the slaying of a West Homestead man who was shot in a West Mifflin parking lot.

Richard F. Streily, 45, of 1192 Cascade Drive, was shot in the head Tuesday evening at the Mifflin Manor Shopping Center, a few hundred yards from the West Mifflin Borough Building.

Streily, who was a liquor salesman, died at 4:15 a.m. yesterday in Mercy Hospital.

Inspector Robert A Meinert, head of the county's homicide squad, and West Mifflin police have ruled out robbery as a motive.

Meinert said Streily had a large amount of money on him that appeared to be untouched.

Meinert said witnesses told police there was no fight or struggle between Streily and the two men who accosted him.

Streily had just left a barber shop and had entered his car when a yellow station wagon drove up and blocked him.

One of the two men in the car got out when Streily left his car to approach the wagon. The man fired at Streily at point-blank range.

Meinert said police were not able to obtain descriptions of the men or the license plate number.

The murder weapon may have been a .22 caliber pistol, sources said.

Meinert said Straily had no underworld connections but was known to gamble.

2 men charged in football bettor's slaying,

by Linda S. Wilson

The 1979 shooting death of a West Homestead liquor salesman has been linked to a gambling operation, and two men have been accused of slaying a bettor who refused to pay off a large wager.

A grand jury presentment made public yeaterday charged that Richard Streily, 46, of 1192 Cascade Drive, was killed because he refused to pay $4,200 on a bet placed on a Monday Night Football game. Even though Streily had a $25,000 bank account for gambling that he kept secret from his wife, he refused to pay the debt because he insisted he bet on the winning team. The specific game is not known.

According to the presentment, Lazzaro Tantalo, who is accused of taking Streily's bet -- and insisted to the gambler that he lost -- then conspired with Benjamin Powell, 45, of 113 Abner Ave., Bon Air, to kill the salesman.

The men face charges of homicide, conspiracy and bookmaking in the Feb. 27, 1979, slaying of Streily, who was shot after leaving a barber shop in the Mifflin Manor Shopping Center in West Mifflin.

Powell has been arrested and is in protective custody in an unidentified hospital because of health problems, according to the district attorney's office. Arrangements have been made for Tantalo, 52, of 80 W. Westwood St., Mount Washington, to turn himself in.

Powell is accused of being the "trigger man" and Tantalo is accused of hiring Powell to commit the contract slaying.

Tantalo, a truck driver for Gimbels Department Store, has headed a sports betting operation, according to the presentment.

Streily, an employee of Hiram-Walker Co. in Green Tree "frequently bet on the outcome of football games, basketball games and baseball games." He made routine visits to the Piscioneri Barber Shop in the Mifflin Manor Shopping Center "for the purpose of placing sports bets," according to the presentment.

Witnesses told the grand jury that on the night of the shooting, Streily left Piscioneri's and walked to his car.

A yellow station wagon drove behind the Streily car "and the driver got out of the vehicle, approached Mr. Streily and allegedly shot him," the grand jury said. The description of the car given to police by witnesses matched Powell's.

Tantalo and Powell are accused of homicide, conspiracy and bookmaking in connection with the murder. Powell was arrested Thursday, detectives said, while Tantalo surrendered Friday.

Man admits bet debt led to murder,

By Susan Mannella (Post-Gazette Staff Writer)

A Bon Air man who apparently tried to commit sucide two weeks ago pleaded guilty yesterday to shooting and killing a West Homestead man in 1979 while trying to collect on a gambling debt.

Benjamin S. Powell, 47, of 113 Abner Ave., pleaded guilty to third degree murder in the Feb. 27, 1979, shooting of Richard Streily, 45. Streily owed $4,200 to a third man, Lazarro Tantalo, who is described by police as the head of a sports betting operation. Powell and Tantalo were indicted by a county grand jury in March 1981 for conspiring to kill Streily because of the debt.

Tantalo, 52, of Mount Washington, who was accused of hiring Powell to collect on the debt, pleaded guilty to book-making charges and was given a grant of immunity from prosecution for the killing after he told the district attorney's office that Powell admitted shooting Streily.

Common Pleas Court Judge Patrick R. Tamilia took the guilty plea under advisement and ordered both a report on the defendant's background and a psychiatric report to make sure Powell understood the consequences of pleading guilty.

Powell took "a lot of pills and was ready to go to sleep" at his home on May 20 after telling his wife he wanted to die, according to police. When police entered the home, they found Powell with a rifle but he surrendered it to officers after about a half hour. Powell was hospitalized after the incident and told Tamilia yesterday that he is to undergo treatment for alcoholism.

Deputy District Attorney Kim Riester said Tantalo would testify that he had made efforts to collect the debt from Streily, a regional whiskey salesman known by the nickname "Whiskey Dick." Riester said Thomas Sacco of Dormont, the victim of a contract murder case in which William "Eggy" Prosdocimo of Squirrel Hill and William "The Codfish" Bricker of the Northside were found guilty, was asked at one time to try to collect the debt.

Riester said Tantalo would have testified that Powell told him that he approached Streily in the parking lot of the Mifflin Manor Shopping Center and that Streily "came out of the car like a tiger." During a scuffle, Powell tried to hit Streily with his gun and it went off.

A trial for Powell was delayed last year when another witness who had been given a grant of immunity from prosecution refused to testify at a preliminary hearing. Regis M. Maiette of Mount Washington was held in contempt of court and jailed for refusing to testify. He later testified in August 1981.

Man Gets 5 - 15 Years For Slaying,

by PAUL MARYNIAC

A Bon Air man, who was once considered for the death penalty in what was believed to be a contract killing, has been sentenced to five to 15 years in prison for the fatal shooting of a West Homestead man. Calling him "the most remorseful man I've seen before me in 13 years on the bench," Common Pleas Judge Patrick R. Tamilia imposed the term yesterday on Benjamin Powell, 47, of 113 Abner Ave., for the slaying of Richard Streily, 46, on Feb. 27, 1979. Powell, who could have received a maximum of 10 to 20 years in prison for his guilty plea to a charge of third-degree murder, had been considered for the death penalty by the district attorney's office after the county grand jury concluded that Streily's slaying was a contract killing. The grand jury had concluded that Streily was killed because he owed a $4,200 gambling debt to Lazzaro Tantalo, a reputed Mount Washington sports-betting figure.

But, charges against Tantalo, 52, of 80 Westwood St., were eventually dropped after he agreed to testify that Powell had told him he had shot the victim during a struggle in the parking lot of the Mifflin Manor Shopping Center in West Mifflin. The victim, a liquor-distributor salesman, left four children. After the grandjury presentment, Powell made what he thought was an "off-the-record confession" to a county homicide detective. The detective was obliged to report the confession to his superiors.

In his confession, Powell said that he and the victim began fighting after the defendant blocked Streily's car as he tried to leave the parking lot. Powell said the gun discharged when he tried to fight off the victim.

Powell, who has been hospitalized for two suicide attempts, has said he became an alcoholic because of his guilt feelings over the killing, which he said was unintentional. Saying that "I have no doubt you would, if you could, trade places with Mr. Streily," Tamilia added that he was imposing a sentence that was less than the maximum because of the defendant's remorse and his lack of a criminal record.
