Reviews

“In the past 40 years, Reed has published more than 20 books and has also made his mark as an editor, publisher, critic, journalist, songwriter, librettist, and fearsome letter-to-the-editor writer. . . . Reed is among the most American of American writers, if by ‘American’ we mean a quality defined by its indefinability and its perpetual transformations as new ideas, influences and traditions enter our cultural conversation.”  —New York Times

“Just when you think that Reed is exaggerating or being one-dimensional in his analysis of racial issues, he’ll open another page of American history and show you something new.”  —David Homel, Rover Arts

“There is brutal candor in Reed’s argument, which often feels refreshing in light of the euphemisms and platitudes typically expressed in both polite discourse and the media’s self-scrutiny. . . . Whether or not one agrees with Reed, one can only be entertained by his gleeful barbs and edgy turns-of-phrase. He names names and shames with derision.”  —Caroline Brown, English professor, Université de Montréal for Montreal Review of Books
