This really is an astonishing book. Wood is not popular with the Eng. lit. establishment, but that's because he is's not chicken when it comes to telling the truth. He exposes bad work and beautifully lights up great work -- like Chekhov and Woolf. I've enjoyed his essays and reviews in the Guardian and the London Review of Books for several years, and I'm not at all disappointed by the talent on display in this book. This guy really can write!
