"Always clear, never reliant upon jargon, able to convey complex ideas without obfuscation, [Enzensberger's] prose and poetry are the witty, no-nonsense vehicle of a preeminent public intellectual." --The Boston Phoenix

"Brilliant. . . . A bracing polemic against the pretensions of Western politicians and intellectuals." --The Nation

"Enzensberger moves inventively from philosophical contemplation . . . to biting commentary. . . . [His] distinctive melange of despairing cynicism and shrewd irony makes us pay attention." --The Toronto Globe and Mail

"Thoughtful and highly nuanced insights on the changes taking place since the end of Communism." --The New York Times Book Review
