“I am one of many readers who stay on the lookout for George Scialabba’s byline.
His reviews and essays are models of moral inquiry. He cuts to the core of the ethical
and political dilemmas he discusses. Scialabba reads very widely and very carefully;
he is as illuminating about Nietzsche and Ortega as about Orwell and Trilling.”

—Richard Rorty


“George Scialabba belongs to an endangered species: the independent writer and reviewer.
In an era of literary razzle-dazzle, he is easily overlooked. Neither portentous
nor pretentious, without a university or think-tank imprimatur, he simply gives us what
he has: crystalline prose and a supple intelligence unafraid to criticize heroes of either
left or right. His writings are a priceless guide to contemporary intellectual life.
Read them and know that when the party is over, his work will remain.”

—Russell Jacoby
