" Brilliantly perceptive...If anyone wants to define the distinctive Englishness of English writing, they can find it all in this book-- modesty, irony, self-deprecating wit, and supremely good observation." -- "Daily Telegraph"
" "
" The book [contains] perhaps the funniest piece ever written about the theater...marvelous, marvelous, marvelous." -- "The Independent"
