Reviews
Engaging, witty, thoughtful, clever, casual, ebullient, erudite and thoroughly modern - Spectator * Spectator *
The distinctive brilliance of Gopnik's essays lies in his ability to pick up a subject one would never have believed possible to think deeply about then cover it in thoughts ... he is truly able to see the whole world in a grain of sand - Alain de Botton, New York Times * Alain de Botton *
