"Epstein is fun to read. . . . He is superb writing about the 'small guaged but finally essential' Barbara Pym and Philip Larkin, about H. L. Mencken's point of view and humor."—Virginia Quarterly Review "Joseph Epstein may well be the only first-rate American literary critic who can be said to have—and deserve—fans. His essays have captivated readers with their wit, learning, and unabashed love of reading. . . . He has high standards for craftsmanship and a low tolerance for cant."—
Washington Times "Epstein's range is extraordinarily wide. He writes with the same urbane ease and seemingly intimate knowledge of Arnold and Santayana, of Waugh and S. J. Perelman, of Henry James and Tom Wolfe, of Dreiser and Marguerite Yourcenar, of Chekhov and Walter Lippmann, of Borges and E. B. White. The essays have charm. . . . They are, in short, an ornament to belles-lettres."—Times Literary Supplement
"One of the best collections of criticism to appear in the past year. . . . [Epstein] is one of our finest critics as well as a cultural commentator of great perceptiveness and subtlety. . . . [A] superb book."—George Core, Hudson Review
