" It was bold of Roth to write a novel about being famous...a comic stroll in a hall of mirrors." -- "Newsweek"
" [Roth's] narrative hand is wonderfully sure, his comic timing worthy of the Ritz Brothers.... Not since Henry MIller has anyone learned to be as funny and compassionate and brutal and plaintive in the space of a paragraph." -- "Village Voice"
" Zuckerman Unbound is masterful, sure in every touch, as clear and economical of line as a crystal vase." -- "The New York TImes Book Review"
