"Brimming with original insights, this massive book offers a comprehensive vision of the entire Platonic corpus.... Both analytic philosophers and literary interpreters, who eschew argument in favor of artistic structure and presentation of character, will profit from engagement with this brilliant study.... This book will allow scholars of all persuasions to make discoveries at every turn as the author guides them through territory they thought they knew well." (Choice)"
