Critical reception
The New York Times, "Includes long and provocative articles on the Rodney King riots, the Persian Gulf war and the 1960's, as well as expansive meditations on writers like Toni Morrison and Gabriel Garcia Marquez."[1]
The Seattle Times, "Best of all, Leonard doesn't always say what we want to hear. "If you want congratulations," he argues, "buy a greeting card and mail it to yourself.""[2]
