Review Quotes
On the Seawall
“Enzensberger’s Mr. Zed, part teacher and part wisecracker, represents a plea for reasonableness, the deflation of extremes, the admission of folly, and a return to the middle path. With humor, variety, nimble turns, and the terse cadences of his prose, Enzensberger has created a thoughtful entertainment that gleefully grates against the headlines and antagonisms of our global news and media culture —as well as against the cultivation of grievances.”
Complete Review
“Enzensberger is a confident old master who does this sort of thing very well, and Mr. Zed’s Reflections is very entertaining. Along the way, Enzensberger manages also to be consistently—if very gently—thought-provoking, making for an eminently worthwhile read that is also very good fun.”
