Recensione:
He has widened the “tonal range” of criticism, permitting it to be both sober and skittish, learned and lewd, rhetorically rambunctious and epigrammatically concise . . . an intellectual as well as a joker, a wise man as well as a wit. (Peter Conrad Observer)
His writing is impeccably witty, flexible and urbane . . . immensely enjoyable to read. It’s a pleasure to see the metropolitan critic back in action. (Christopher Taylor Sunday Telegraph)
He can both get to the heart of a subject and raise a laugh. (Nicholas Lezard Sunday Times)
