Terry Castle's new book "The Professor and Other Writings"
Susan Sontag once called Terry Castle “the most expressive, most enlightening literary critic at large today.” But her new book, The Professor and Other Writings, proves she's one of our most expressive and enlightening memoirists as well. - (Salon.com)
"These essays are written by a brilliant mind at play. There is a sparkling intensity and wit in the tone, tempered by wisdom, but loosened by honesty and humor. Terry Castle is a great noticer, a superb and fearless observer of both herself and the world. The essays in The Professor are likely to become classics of their kind." - Colm Toibin, author of The Master and Brooklyn
