"No writer I've ever read is as good as George Garrett when it comes to showing me both sides at the same instant. Fact and factoid, respect and derision, truth and falsehood, saint and sinner, art and dross, heads and tails, all show their bold faces in these stern yet cheerful pieces about literary triumphs and quasi-literary follies. There is much here for the younger writer trying to learn the way, but there is also plenty for us to chew on who thought we were veterans." -Henry Taylor
