Reviews
"[Magris] has sketched visions from his cafe chair, at his apartment, from temples in India and inside mosques in Istanbul. Snapshots collects them and they read like the satori of a historian, walking out the wintry days of his life. . . . On every page here is a way of looking that restores mystery to the world."--John Freeman, Literary Hub
"A fine little collection . . . ideal for dipping into."--M.A. Orthofer, Complete Review
"Witty analysis and humorous interpretations of a full spectrum of subjects. Magris's unique perspective blends the personal and the universal into a rich spectrum of intensely human experiences."--World Literature Today
