Critic Reviews

“The best living essayist writing in English”

He's brilliant
Phillips radiates infectious charm Sunday Times
Reading Phillips, you may be amused, vexed, dazzled. But the one thing you will never be is bored Observer
He is perhaps single-handedly continuing the tradition of the world's best essayists
