Praise
“Roth manages to tease from his subjects the convictions that fuel their work and the vulnerabilities that make them human…. Yet another example of [his] clarity of purpose and singular intelligence.” —The New York Times Book Review
“[Roth] brings out something adamantine and irreducible about each of his interlocutors…. Ring[s] with what his readers will recognize as … Rothian intelligence.” —The New York Times
“Fascinating glimpses of some of the deans of postwar literature [and] a working diagram of the very engine that makes Roth run.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review
“A wonderful book…. This is a book about urgency, responsibility and dedication in the face of mortal danger, and Roth asks all the right questions—and he is unafraid to do so at length. The answers are consistently enlightening, whether about morality, influence or technique.” —The Guardian
