Critics Review
The distinctive brilliance of Gopnik’s essays lies in his ability to pick up a subject one would never have believed possible to think deeply about then cover it in thoughts. He is truly able to see the whole world in a grain of sand - New York Times Book Review
Avid intelligence and a nimble pen - John Updike‘I need to read anything that Adam Gopnik writes … His acuity, grace, sensitive intelligence (in short, his brilliance) are, as ever, dazzlingly displayed and yet with the lightest of touches - Nigella LawsonBrilliantly insightful … Any writer who can take subjects as diverse as Wilson Bentley’s snow crystal photographs, Dickens’s Christmas stories and the myth that the Inuit have dozens of different words for snow, and find something original and interesting to say about each of them, has to be worth reading - Sunday Times, on WinterAbout The Author
