'Engaging, introspective and entertaining. They showcase his ability to reach a diverse audience without losing intellectual verve. I relished every tale and essay here, not least because Chaudhuri subtly politicised the ways in with both writing and writers are culturally placed, described and sanitised.' -- Deborah Levy New Statesman
