内容简介
When The Morning After: Selected Essays and Reviews was published in 1971, Wilfrid Sheed was widely regarded as just about "the best professional reviewer in the business, and …… one of the best writers around" according to The New York Times Book Review. Three decades on, Sheed's stylistic brilliance is, simply, a revelation. They just don't write them like this anymore. In his Introduction, written specially for this Common Reader Edition, Sheed looks back on his heyday as a reviewer. Also now included here is Sheed's celebrated piece about his experiences as a judge for the Book of the Month Club.
