Media Reviews
These are rich and various essays, ripe with interest. Manguel says that what matters most to literature is the existence of judicious readers; this collection will help to create more such. -The Financial Times Splendid and eloquently expressed . . . Manguel's writing at its strongest and most original. -The Times Literary Supplement Witty and elegant, a nice piece of book-making. -The Sunday Times (London)
