Twenty-four essays from the past decade and a half of Acocella's career as a cultural critic.
What The Reviewers Say
One of the best-read, most laconic and least pretentious cultural critics of her generation, from whom we are lucky to have this final volume of collected essays..
In each ardently researched, fluent, and intriguing inquiry, Acocella thinks through persistent conundrums and marvels over human complexity and creativity..
Astute, consummately readable, and often droll.
Essayist Acocella... shines in this splendid anthology of literary criticism.
