内容介绍
"What critic – or reader – wouldn’t benefit from a crash course in Kevin Thomas’ reviews? They’re hugely smart, wryly compressed, and visually witty. They beautifully evoke both the book being celebrated and the idiosyncratic mind that engaged it." —Jim Shepard, author of You Think That's Bad
 
"How often does an author love a review so much she buys it, frames it, and hangs it on the wall? Kevin Thomas captured the essence of my book, its very heart, and he does it over and over again for books of all different kinds. I feel honored to have received the HORN! treatment, and giddy at the thought of an entire collection." —Emma Straub, author of Laura Lamont's Life in Pictures
