A high-wire juggling act where all the balls are kept spinning
perfectly
*Irish Independent*
The pleasure for readers is twofold: on one hand, there is the
intrinsic interest in the subjects...On the other, there’s the fact
that this is Lethem telling us these things, and how it gives an
insight into his own creative practice
*Guardian*
A collage of what makes Lethem tick
*Monocle*
Thoughtful and rambunctious ... a jazzy, patchwork memoir ... [a]
fresh, erudite, zestful, funny frolic in the great fields of
creativity
*Booklist*
Hefty and remarkable... These byways, all of which make room for
eccentric flights as well as proper essays, augment the charm and
impact of what Lethem prefers to call an autobiographical
collage
*The New York Times Book Review*
