Incredibly funny. Wise. Roger Rosenblatt's writing style is clever and lovely - I think he's the e.e. cummings of essayists. Try his new book "Anything Can Happen: Notes on My Inadequate Life and Yours" where he ponders "is there an illegal pad? who was Absorbine Sr.? Where exactly is Magnesia?" yet also writes lines like "To True Lovers Who Lament the Fact that They Cannot Live Forever: You already have."

Never was a good political commentator. Still isn't. Full of himself. Should stick to "the personal."

There is nothing wrong with being liberal. Being liberal means putting people above political dogma no matter which country it is in.There is nothing sneaky about Rosenblatt's prose. His poetic style carries his ideas across clearly and with grace.What suprises me is that people are actually threatened by this book. How absurd! It is a wonderful book and a joy to read.But hey, maybe everyone who didn't like this book can burn it along with "Catcher in the Rye".
