Review
An extraordinarily striking, moving and delicious collection of short essays...The writing in most of these essays is dazzling, the anecdotes and insights even more so. It is a superb collection of vignettes, and their variety throws more light on the diversity and possibilities than a treatise could. --The Financial Times
Memories wrapped in tender prose, yet are unflinching in their portrayal of these talented friends, failings and all... These vignettes steer away from hero worship to give us something more moving. --The Independent
Beautifully produced, and rich in revealing vignettes, this gathering of friends would make a perfect girft for a literary friend, especially one who agrees with EM Cioran that the two most interesting things in the world are gossip and metaphysics. --Irish Times
