Media Reviews
"[The book] takes advantage of scores of interviews, and also of archival sources which have become available only recently. It dwells on Ehrenburg's private life in more detail than any other book known to me. Rubenstein happily avoids the factual errors and inaccuracies that abound in many Western works on Russia....A solid and eloquent work, 'Tangled Loyalties' will be useful for anyone interested in Russian and European culture of the period, and in the vagaries of the Communist faith." -- Tomas Venclova
-- New Republic
"[A] convincing, judicious, and enjoyable biography...Mr. Rubenstein handles the morality of Ehrenburg's tangled loyalties with intelligent tact, leaving final judgment to those best qualified-the people who were there." -- Richard Lourie
-- New York Times Book Review
"Challenges the conventional view of Ehrenburg's life and career."
-- Newsweek
"Joshua Rubenstein's fine biography begins unraveling the mystery of Ehrenburg's survival by making a shrewd observation about the psychology of dictators: they prefer the company of people with a dirty secret they can use to control them." -- Michael Ignatieff
-- New York Review of Books

Here at the New Yorker
by Brendan Gill
For over sixty years Brendan Gill has been a contented inmate of the singular institution known as The New Yorker. This affectionate account of the magazine, long known as a home for congenital unemployables, is a celebration of its wards and attendants - William Shawn, Harold Ross's gentle and courtly successor as editor; the incorrigible mischief-maker James Thurber; the two Whites, Katherine and E.B.; John O'Hara, "master of the fancied slight"; and, among a hundred others, Peter Arno, Saul Steinberg, Edmund Wilson, Lewis Mumford, and Pauline Kael. Brendan Gill has known them all, and by virtue of his virtually total recall, keen eye, and impeccable prose, his diverting portraits of these eccentrics in rage and repose are amply supplied with both dimples and warts. Here at The New Yorkernow updated with a new introduction detailing the reigns of Robert Gottlieb and Tina Brown - is a delightful tour of New York's most glorious madhouse.
