"There are enough gems of this trivially miscellaneous kind to recommend Vanity Fair's Writers on Writers on this front alone... 'Writers on Writers' which, ever the graceful host, offers up its own scattered jets of shining bubbles."--New York Times
"Rich and delicious... Witty and insightful."--Publishers Weekly "A compelling anthology pairing essayists and writerly subjects that will be enjoyed by readers of Vanity Fair and book lovers in general."--Library Journal "Shimmering pieces on the literary life...All, subjects and writers alike, are people whose company a literary-minded reader will seek...essential."--Kirkus Reviews "Vanity Fair's Writers on Writers is a stellar collection of entertaining and insightful essays by writers, about writers, culled from the magazine's 103-year-old archives. Dominick Dunne, Truman Capote and Salman Rushdie are just a few of the A-list authors included."--Good Housekeeping "[A] terrific anthology."--BookPageAbout the Author
