Witty, humane, learned . . . By assimilating what was once radical to his variety of liberalism, Gopnik hopes to prove to contemporary progressives that they can champion the woke causes of the 21st century without surrendering the liberal heritage of free speech, rule of law, scientific inquiry and individual conscience. - New York Times Written with Adam Gopnik's signature wit and charm, A Thousand Small Sanities is also a clarion call at a moment of great danger. This fierce, capacious, and startlingly intelligent defense of a whole political, social, and moral order is essential reading for our time. - Stephen Greenblatt, author of The Swerve A smart, exhilarating defense of the liberal tradition - Publishers Weekly Watch and enjoy another mind confront the world at its most problematic. It feels like a dying art - Tim Adams, Observer, on In Mid-Air The distinctive brilliance of Gopnik's essays lies in his ability to pick up a subject one would never have believed possible to think deeply about then cover it in thoughts.
