“A classic for our times. It is as fundamental for understanding the world we live in as the three R’s.” -- Thomas Sowell “Truthful—therefore morally courageous and intellectually rigorous.” -- Norman Podhoretz “Dalrymple's vivid writing and often heartbreaking stories rise above his deeply felt social analysis.” * Publishers Weekly * “Brilliant social analysis...a master chronicle of life at the bottom.” -- Hilton Kramer “Lucid, unsentimental, and profoundly honest. . . . Dalrymple is one of the great essayists of our age.” -- Denis Dutton “It is a truism that ideas have consequences, but a truism is rarely illustrated as implacably as in this book.” -- George F. Will “Theodore Dalrymple is the best doctor-writer since William Carlos Williams.” -- Peggy Noonan ""A landmark experience is reading Life at the Bottom."" * Detroit Free Press * ""Once in a long while a writer comes along with a vision so powerful that it shakes you. Theodore Dalrymple is that kind of writer."" -- Bruce Ramsey * Liberty Press *
