As an architectural critic Michael Sorkin is unique in America. He
is brave, principled, highly informed and fiercely funny. Read him
and laugh; read him and weep; but read him, to see why the '80s
were so bad for American building.
*Robert Hughes*
Michael Sorkin is obsessed by the blackbirds of architecture. He
hunts them at night.
*John Hejduk*
Michael Sorkin's brand of writing ... is to thoughtful criticism
what the Ayatollah Khomeini is to religious tolerance ...
