"An endlessly fortifying mixture of famous works and neglected gems that can take pride of place on anyone's bedside table for months before its pleasures come close to being exhausted." --The Wall Street Journal "Eight hundred pages of mostly delight and edification. . . . Give in to its choral quality and it's easy to feel not just the sweep of our centuries but the dialogical nature of our grandest ideas and most persistent struggles." -The New York Times "Indispensable . . . models the way we need to live now." --Margo Jefferson "Lopate has captured the history of a nation speaking to itself and to the world." --Meghan O'Gieblyn "Marvelous . . . [a] fresh and thrilling reading companion." --Jonathan Lethem "Not only an education but a joy. This is a book for the ages." --Rivka Galchen
