Reviews

"A work of great beauty and inexhaustible fervor." --The Washington Post Book World "Endlessly suggestive. . . . Nobody now writing keeps a more provocative house than Jonathan Raban." --The New York Times Book Review "A great book by the very best contempoary writer afloat." --The Oregonian "Raban is a super-sensitive, all-seeing eye. He spots things we might otherwise miss; he calls up the apt metaphors that transform things into phenomena--. One of our most gifted observers."--Newsday
