Many of the "essays" are book reviews reprinted as essays, and mostly they work well enough in that capacity. I would say that an essayist collects his magazine work into a single volume at his own peril: essays originally read months and years apart look very different when read straight through. For example, certain clever observations (Havard was difficult to get into, easy to get out of, whereas University of Chicago was easy to get into but difficult to get out of) and favorite expressions (eminence grise) lose their freshness after the second and third encounters.

A collection of 38 essays on a variety of topics, which are "not united by the biographical or any other theme but instead [cover] the range of [Epstein's] interests and preoccupations as an essayist over a writing career that spans more than fifty years: education, language, the arts, magazines, intellectuals, the culture"--Dust jacket flap.
