Trade Review
‘Said's last book is a series of dazzling case studies exploring the idea of lateness in a range of composers, writers and artists' * London Review of Books *
‘What Said stands for - critical intelligence, high art and the preservation of the language - must be at the centre of our lives. This book is a fine monument to his life and work' * Hanif Kureishi *
‘Gracefully unquiet, probing and wise ... Said's own elegiac masterpiece of late style' * Financial Times *
‘His own late style, if it is acceptable to call it that, mixes an easy mastery of material with an unquenched desire to preserve difficulties' * Guardian *
