Reviews
"A wide range of knowledge allows Brooks to make myriad connections and to cast a wider net, as it were, around his topic, finding resonances in many places."--Stephan Delbos, Prague Post "Rich, complex, and rewarding."--Choice "Elegant and provocative, Enigmas of Identity offers new insights into the questions and clues about who we think we are."--World Book Industry "Brooks's aim--to enrich his reader's thinking about identity--was certainly fulfilled for this reader, and should be for anyone who has a broad education including the literary territory which the book takes for granted. Readers with a different background, such as my students, might find Brooks's approach rambling and elitist. Let us be thankful that there is still room in publishing today for such a rewarding elitist ramble."--John Joseph, European Legacy
