“[Gonzalez–Crussi] is content to follow his argument where it leads, making points along the way. To follow his fancy, too, although it always comes circling back to the topic in hand. One of the pleasures the book affords, in fact, is the chance to watch the unexpected but always cogent movements of his mind…. The book is as impressive as its predecessors. Dr. Gonzalez–Crussi is never less than shrewd and entertaining; he has an exceptionally well–stocked mind, and he frequently achieves something that is not too much to call wisdom.”—John Gross, The New York Times
