J. D. Daniels Book order

Tightly written, often brilliant ... Alive with deft asides and daring intuitive leaps. Daniels is a very good writer, and [this is] a very good book... The self is the well from which all these essays are drawn; or perhaps it's the sewer into which all these essays drain... A complete work about a work-in-progress, the self-portrait of a writer slowly coming into his own. J Robert Lennon Guardian
