Praise for Marius Kociejowski
"Kociejowski draws on all the aspects of his life in these engaging, idiosyncratic personal essays ... [that] proffer the reader equal measures of autobiography, insight and quirky charm."
–Michael Dirda, Washington Post
"Here the charm is deep, the splendour unlaboured; the colours of history, reckoned afresh, saturate singular people, in whom passion is lucid again...here is one who collects his extraordinary resources, and strides."
–Christopher Middleton
"It is a testament to the power of this superb book that I felt not despondency, but ... elation."
–Adam Thorpe, Times Literary Supplement
"Treasures are revealed ... with a formidable erudition, and at their best they gleam with an enameled splendour."
–Ken Babstock, Globe and Mail
