"[Eptein's readers] will find, in A Line Out for a Walk, every gratification to which he has accustomed them."—Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World "Mr Epstein is a winsome confidant. Not because his confessions are sensational, far from it. . . . On getting old. On slightness of stature. On becoming a windbag. . . . Money worries. Envy. And, in an essay with paralyzing comic impact, 'You Probably Don't Know Me,' Mr. Epstein has written about his modest lust for fame. Such moral intimations provide a charm and resonance. . . . More than just humorous, the Epstein sensibility is
trustable: honest, open, human."—D. Keith Mano,
New York Times Book Review "[His] way with the familiar essay—that flexible, forgiving genre in which anything goes except charmlessness and anonymity—has much in common with that of Messrs. Beerbohm, Liebling, and Mencken. Each piece is exquisitely sustained, moving from point to point with the relaxed economy of a pro."—Wall Street Journal
"A writer at the top of his powers in these serious, funny, pleasantly unpredictable musings."—Publishers Weekly
