"""Reading any chapter in Alva Noë's delightful new book is like visiting an exhibition - a play, a concert, a film - with a dear, kind friend who happens to be smarter, more perceptive, more eloquent than you could ever be. Whether Noë is writing about David Bowie's performance art or paintings by Vermeer's daughter, he gets at both the particulars of the work he's discussing and also its philosophical implications - how it sheds light on what it is to be human. Noe is pitching the transformative power of art, but he gets there by selling us on its pleasures."" - Blake Gopnik, author of Warhol"
