Acclaim for Lee Siegel "Mr. Siegel is a zigzagging cultural omnivore...a confrontational enthusiast... an expert demolisher of critical group-think." --New York Observer "One of the country's most eloquent and acid-tongued cultural critics." -Deborah Solomon, New York Times "To read him is to be reminded of what criticism used to aspire to in terms of range, learning, high standards, and good writing and--dare one say it?--values." -- David Rieff "Savor his vigorous prose, and prepare to be surprised." --Pete Hamill "In every case, Siegel is wildly and satisfyingly unpredictable." --Janet Malcolm "One of the heroic few." -- The Guardian
