Recensioner i media

"The unfettered voice found in Fox's wide-ranging personal essays [lingers] in the memory." -- Megan O'Grady "Fox's style is jagged, elliptical at times and even rough. In fact it has a unique expressiveness; an industrial, not a jeweler's diamond, and used for cutting, not display." -- Richard Eder "Leaves the reader with a bolstering sense of having been enriched by a view of the world at once rigorously thoughtful and deeply felt." "What makes News from the World more than the sum of its parts is Fox's voice: astringent (but never cold), unsentimental (but never pitiless), exasperated (but never angry)." -- David Leavitt
