The best living essayist writing in English

Elegant and lucid... This erudite and absorbing book oozes intelligence and charm (Independent)
Brave, idiosyncratic and refreshing... Innovative and eclectic... Profound... It is heartening to read anyone, let alone a psychoanalyst, who writes so well (The Times)
Exceptional... Irresistable, both as a guide to living and an exploration of the links between behaviour and mortality (Times Educational Supplement)
