Critical Reviews


"A memoir of a sensualist... Sentence by sentence, it's as beautifully precise as any contemporary American work I know."- Pauline Kael

"If you've ever been young, ever lived in or wanted to live in Greenwich Village, ever loved books or sex or both, you'll savor this memoir."- Detroit Free Press

"Full of Broyard's wit, compassion and rich insight... His mind, his aesthetic, his view of the world, shimmer brightly in this memoir."- Chicago Tribune

"Seductive, ardently written...a valentine with barbs."- Washington Post Book World
