"One of Roth's grand inventions.... [He is] a comic genius ... a living master." --Harold Bloom, The New York Review of Books

"The uncontested master of comic irony." --Time magazine

"A devilish book, nervously exuding a kind of delirious brilliance like sweat at every pore, and madly comic." --Alfred Kazin

"A brilliant novel of ideas ... Roth has gone farther into his own genius than he ever has before." --Ted Solotaroff, The Nation
