Recenzii
"One of a handful of living Americans who have mastered the familiar essay, Epstein never fails to entertain as well as soothingly educate." School Library Journal
"Joseph Epstein is an essayist in the brilliant tradition of Charles Lamb. He moves so effortlessly from the amusingly personal to the broadly philosophical that it takes a moment before you realize how far out into the intellectual cosmos you have been taken. He is also mercilessly free of the petty intellectual etiquettes common at this moment in our national letters. It is refreshing to hear so independent a voice." -- Tom Wolfe, author of A Man in Full
"Epstein's work is well in the Addisonian line of succession that Cyril Connolly saw petering out in Punch and the professional humorists . . . Epstein is a great deal more sophisticated than they were, and a great deal more readable." -- Philip Larkin
"Joseph Epstein's essays no more need his identifying byline than Van Gogh's paintings need his signature. Epstein's style--call it learned whimsy--is unmistakable; for Epstein addicts, indispensible." -- George F. Will
"Joseph Epstein is the liveliest, most erudite and engaging essayist we have--a wonderful combination of Hazlitt and Chicago boy. At once somber and self-assured, he has achieved the considerable feat of fashioning from the minor dramas of his own life--aging, infirmity, coming up against the limits of ambition--major themes. In taking his measure, he takes our own." -- James Atlas, author of a forthcoming biography on Saul Bellow and frequent New Yorker contributor
"If Epstein's ultimate ancestor is Montaigne, his more immediate master is Mencken. Like Mencken, he has fashioned a style that successfully combines elegance and even bookishness with street-smart colloquial directness. And there is nothing remote or aloof about him." The Chicago Tribune —
