Alfred Kazin, one of our most distinguished critics culls half a century from his journals. Russell Baker describes Kazin's work best: "A lovely book about 20th-century life lived gracefully on the New York literary battleground, and about the universal torments of growing up, of loving too much, and of growing old and wrestling with God".

Review:
"An impassioned, mentally charged, gorgeously written, splendidly astute historical journal by the most comprehending American reader of the last fifty years."--Philip RothA"Whether describing a literary style or a physical appearance, Mr. Kazin can compress life within a turn of phrase."--Edward Rothstein, "New York Times Book Review""Kazin writes to possess in these journal entries...some understanding of the God who could have allowed the Holocaust to happen."--Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, "New York Times"
