Editorial Reviews
Review
[Harvey’s] writing is a marvel — moving, funny, human, insightful, wise, and in [his] unmistakable voice.
Harvey Dorfman’s writing shows him to be an excellent journalist. I’d hoped [he would be] interested in applying for a Nieman Harvard Fellowship. He is eminently qualified.
I had been thinking of writing something on the same topic [Harvey treated]. I’m afraid whatever I produced would be nowhere near as amusing.
I realized long ago I would never be able to thank [Harvey] enough for all [he has] done for me. The things I learned from [him] are far and away the biggest reason I have been able to succeed.
