Guardian "America's most invigorating writer on architecture."–
Observer "Sorkin is one of the most intelligent writers on architecture today."–

Publishers Weekly "[A]n intense mediation on the role of democracy in architecture, the role of the critic in that democracy and the dilemmas facing an architect who wants to make a difference (by working with that democracy) but needs to make a living (by pleasing an economic and political elite) ...
