The best living essayist writing in English
The Martin Amis of British psychoanalysis . . . brilliantly
amusing and often highly unsettling * The Times *
One of those writers whom it is a pleasure simply to hear
think * Sunday Telegraph *
Reading Phillips, you may be amused, vexed, dazzled. But the
one thing you will never be is bored * Observer *
