The author of The American Future: A History and the National Book Critics Circle Award finalist Rough Crossings here brings his keen critical sensibility to a wide range of topics. From Winston Churchill to Martin Scorsese, Richard Avedon to Rubens and Rembrandt, as well as travels in Brazil, Amsterdam, and New Orleans, this selection of essays published in The New Yorker, Vogue, the New York Review of Books, and the Guardian is a treasure trove of surprises highlighting Simon Schama's sense of humor, curiosity, and idiosyncrasies. "This robust, generous smorgasbord has pretty much something for every palate."—NYTimes "Collections of essays don't come any better than this. All readers who like lively writing and good thinking, especially relating to art criticism and history, will enjoy this book."—Library Journal
