Endorsements & Reviews
“The unfettered voice
found in Fox’s wide-ranging personal essays [lingers] in the memory.” — Megan O'Grady, Vogue
“Fox’s style is
jagged, elliptical at times and even rough. In fact it has a unique
expressiveness; an industrial, not a jeweler’s diamond, and used for cutting,
not display.” — Richard Eder, Boston Globe
“Leaves the reader
with a bolstering sense of having been enriched by a view of the world at once
rigorously thoughtful and deeply felt.” — The Atlantic
“What makes News from the World more than the sum of its parts is Fox’s voice:
astringent (but never cold), unsentimental (but never pitiless), exasperated
(but never angry).” — David Leavitt, New York Times
