"A refreshing departure from the nasty academic jousting that often
passes for a debate about the canon.... [Kermode's] reasoned
advocacy is a reminder why literature and criticism are equipment
for living."--Bookforum
"Most impressive and satisfying.... It addresses the heritage and
the literary culture of our time with greater subtlety than any
other writing I know."--Charles Rosen, Times Literary Supplement
(International Books of the Year 2004)
"Kermode's wit and impressive breadth of reference make Pleasure
and Change a compelling contribution to a debate that shows no sign
of approaching a resolution."--Adam Smyth, Times Literary
Supplement
