Praise for this book

"Everyone who timidly, bombastically, reverently, scholastically--even fraudulently--essays to 'live the life of the mind' should read this book. It's elegant and classy, like caviar and champagne, and like these two items, it's over much too soon." -- Los Angeles Times

"Living by Fiction is a stimulating book, one of those in which quality of thought and felicity of prose seem consequences of one another." -- New York Times Book Review
