"Funny, poignant... His prose feels like an ideal form of conversation." — –The Washington Post

"Charming ... His compilation of crotchets can be both compelling and cockamamie." — The Wall Street Journal

"Heartbreaking, a delight, a lovely, comfy book." — –The Times (London)

"You'd have to be not just very smart but witty, humorous and inventive to have had the career he has, but still more to encapsulate so much of it, playfully yet seriously, in this book."
