Synopsis

From Library Journal
Reading this is like listening to an old neighbor, sitting on a porch rocker, recounting joys and lessons gleaned from life. In both, the gaze is fixed on a distant horizon; the tone is sometimes cynical, sometimes condescending, and sometimes akin to childlike wonder. The memories here are in random order, but the style and vivid imagery that have won Morris acclaim as a travel writer and journalist are evident. For those who have drawn joy from Morris's travelogues, Pleasures will probably be a pleasure to read; however, it has little to offer the unitiated. It is a book to add to a Jan Morris collection, not a book to start one with. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 7/89.

From Publishers Weekly
This follow-up to Conundrum , Morris's account of her sex-change operation, is intended as a celebration of personal pleasures; the author revels in everyday sensual experiences, writes of her travels and shares her political and social viewpoints. PW dubbed these essays an "idiosyncratic potpourri" containing "unexpected peculiarities."
