Buoyant. . . . The reader doesn't want this party to be over. --Leslie Chess Feller, The New York Times Book Review

"Triumphant. . . . [Grumbach] is tireless in her passion for ideas." --Steven Harvey, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"[Grumbach] lives simultaneously in the past with departed friends, in the present with daily chores, in her imagination with well-known and remembered books, and she is completely alive in each sphere." --Barbara Fisher, The Boston Globe

"Grumbach writes effortlessly and beautifully. She has led a life passionately devoted to books and writing, and as she approaches 80 the passion is still there." --David Guy, Washington Post Book World

An eightieth-birthday party is cause for reflection on an extraordinary life of letters from Doris Grumbach, one of our most prized writers.
