Trade Review
"Pure oxygen and nutrition for exhausted and demoralized editors and publishers. One of the prophetic publishers of the century---Kurt Wolff instances in these modest reminiscences and correspondence with authors (Kafka, Werfel, Kraus, Rilke, Mann, Pasternak, Grass, et al.) the vision and devotion that bound them to him and that made him-the secret of his calling-'synonymous with his work.'" (Nation) "The invaluable correspondence, intoxicating recollections, and, best of all, engaging voice of perhaps this century's most discriminating publisher." (New York Times Book Review)"
