"Acerbic, playful, full of quick-witted philosophy, and unstintingly original, this is a varied and unsettling reader for our varied and unsettling times."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Bán marries Rabelaisian scholastic satire with a cerebral lyricism, resulting in a fanciful, if occasionally baffling, curriculum."--Publishers Weekly

"This is an impressive, even wonderful work, Bán's dense, bubbling flow of ideas and words carrying readers along like on some wild river raft-ride." --Michael Orthofer, Complete Review

"Defiant irreverence is Night School's greatest strength. . . . Zsófia Bán's textbook parody is a bravura performance, and perhaps it has more to teach us than we might initially think."--Jacob Silkstone, Asymptote

"No book I've read this year has felt as alive and inventive as Zsofia Ban's Night School, nor has any book provided me with its volume of pure pleasure."--Jonathan Woollen, Politics and Prose

"Zsófia Bán fashioned the curious frame of a "night school" to interact her readers on a long list of random subjects. . . rearranging the pieces [of cultural history] in intriguing forms, to the delight of the already learned student." --Thomas Nolden, World Literature Today
