"A volume of Adorno is equivalent to a whole shelf of books on literature."--Susan Sontag"The most peculiarly representative of Adorno's work."--Cambridge Review"The best thoughts of a noble and invigorating mind."--"The Observer" [UK]"A staggering variety of topics is covered, moving in each section from the most intimate personal experiences to the most general theoretical problems."--"Radical Philosophy""A primary intellectual document of this age."--"Sunday Times" [London]"A classic of twentieth-century thought ... whose translation is the best by far of any work of critical theory."--"Times Literary Supplement"
