Reviews: All Books

Wonderfully written— filled with fierce compassion and insight.

If there is a unifying theme here, it is Solomon’s ability to make friends in difficult circumstances.

Be prepared for the fact that depression can return, but now not as something terrible and bearing unbearable suffering, but as a difficult old acquaintance with whom you have already learned to communicate.

Here you can see a curious mind in motion, and map Solomon’s intellectual journey as if each piece of writing were a GPS coordinate along an unfolding path of a life’s work.

Hem kendimizi casaretlendirmek hem de cevreye daha duyarli bir gözle bakabilmek adina her sayfasinda güc veriyor.

This is an untidy book, but a great one.... Intense purposefulness is what makes this book extraordinary... This is a very noble book.

From assaults to kidnappings, celebrations to conflicts and journeys on ice-breakers and reindeer sleds, Solomon unites human history around the world through his intimate, personal accounts.

Some 30 travel pieces, in prose sparkling with insight, describe “places in the throes of transformation.”

His prose sparkles with insights and captivating description, whether he is observing camels in Mongolia... or eating his way through China.

We read Andrew Solomon not just for his scrupulous research on a range of subjects, but also for the pleasure of his gorgeous prose.
