Eloquent witness to the magazine's remarkable content over the years.... It was the Profile a New Yorker staffer coined the term that the magazine really revolutionized. It's intoxicating to have these pieces all in one place. --Newsday

An anthology that makes you remember why the magazine has long had a reputation for literary excellence --Chicago Tribune

Splendidly entertaining. --Houston Chronicle
