Review:
"So compact are the pieces . . . so crammed with ideas and insights and nuances, that each could very well be expanded to several times its length."—Joyce Carol Oates
"Essays with more insights than a cookie has crumbs. . . . Yet the book is only 151 pages long. And it still manages to cover every aspect of the art."—New York Times
