What The Reviewers Say

Dwight Garner,
The New York Times Book Review
The essays are, by and large, as tweedy and self-satisfied as these lines make them sound. There are no wild hairs in them, no sudden deepenings of tone. Nothing is at stake..
Michael Continetti,
The Wall Street Journal
Discursive, learned, often funny and always satisfying.

Kirkus
Epstein easily slides from topic to topic.
