Review
Brilliant . . . A stimulating book, electric in its energies, the shock of its thought. Boston Globe
Reads like a poet s prose: quick, flashing, and idiosyncratic. . . . [His essays] do not close discussions so much as open them. The New Yorker
Paz is by vocation a believer in alternatives, in new ways in which tradition and change can nourish each other. In his special detachment, he can afford to regard the past with love, the future without panic. Time
"With the translation of Alternating Current, readers . . . can make the acquaintance of a man of electrical passions, paradoxical visions, alternating currents of thoughts, and feeling that runs hot but never cold Christian Science Monitor"
"Brilliant . . . A stimulating book, electric in its energies, the shock of its thought."--Boston Globe
