Trade Review
"This collection is, above all, fun to read, full as it is of memorable high jinks... There is a fertility of invention not only in incident but in writing itself ... Auden was always a virtuoso, something of a showoff--and it is a pleasure to watch him showing off."--Los Angeles Times,
