Emotions Haunt a Man for Life in Cynthia Ozick’s Tragicomic ‘Antiquities’ Cynthia Ozick, whose new novella is “Antiquities.”Credit.Fred R. Conrad/The New York Times/Redux Buy Book ▾ April 19, 2021, 2:26 p.m. ET Cynthia Ozick’s new novella, “Antiquities,” is set in Westchester County, New York, in 1949 and 1950. It’s about seven semi-distinguished old men: Waspy geezers, with walkers and heart conditions, the last living trustees of a patrician boys’ academy that closed more than three decades earlier. They live on the splendid property, their number dwindling, and they bicker like sunburned children. This is a premise that, as A.J. Liebling was wont to say, stretches the elastic of credulity. These are men of means, former lawyers and businessmen, some with families. What are they doing here? What’s their monkish loyalty to this place?
