Praise

“Lane writes the way Fred Astaire danced; his sentences and paragraphs are a sublime, rhythmic concoction of glide and snap, lightness and sting.” –The New York Times Book Review

“Anthony Lane has energy, wit, taste, learning, and (most signally) elegance of mind.” —Martin Amis

“A pure pleasure to read.” –Los Angeles Times Book Review
