Media reviews

"[A] collection of material so sharp it reminds you not only of why he was invited to the party in the first place, but why he might stay longer than some of the other literary loudmouths....[T]he utter concentration of close and repeated reading combined with a determined nonchalance about drawing a larger conclusion... is what makes the book such a riot to read.
