“Her passing remarks on figures as dissimilar as Taylor Mead, Tammy Grimes, the Beatles and Harpo Marx are alive with a sense of what it is like to watch these performers…She rises to analysis that is nothing less than exhilaratingly shrewd…A ponderable, vivacious, beautifully living, and quite astonishingly American book”

— New York Times
