[His] way with the familiar essay-that flexible, forgiving genre in which anything goes except charmlessness and anonymity-has much in common with that of Messrs, Beerbohm, Liebling, and Mencken. Each piece is exquisitely sustained, moving from point to point with the relaxed economy of a pro. -Wall Street Journal Paul Klee's words on his art, "I take a line out for a walk," describe precisely what the author of these essays does-he takes out such "lines" as gossip, gambling, height (or the lack of it), hats, smoking, fame or compulsive reading and "walks them" in his own discursive style.
