Industry Reviews "[T]he passionate Eastern European intellectual, at home and yet never at home in Warsaw, Paris, New York or Berkeley, is here brilliantly, powerfully on display.... Milosz's ABC's is neither a light nor an easy book. But reading it is likely to prove a transformative experience." Washington Post Book World - Burton Raffel (03/25/2001)
"Like everything else Milosz has written, it is fascinatingly unpredictable in its sentiments and its assertions." New York Review of Books - Helen Vendler (05/31/2001)
