Recenzii

“Poetry lovers and readers intrigued by Auden and his considerable influence will have a rollicking time with this entertaining yet earnest tome.” — Booklist (starred review)
September 1, 1939, the book, is a deeply informed and unapologetically digressive dive into Auden’s life, as well as into the life of this singular poem. Along the way, we readers hear a good deal of nattering about Sansom’s own life: how, for instance, his sister in Australia thinks he should buy a barbecue grill, or how he, unlike Auden, lasted only two weeks on a misbegotten pilgrimage to New York City. Sansom says of Auden, the poet, that he’s ‘a terrible fidget. It’s what makes [his] poems entertaining, and infuriating.’ Much the same can be said of Sansom, the fidgety critic.” — Maureen Corrigan, NPR’s Fresh Air
“[Sansom’s] richly entertaining book explores what goes on in the poem and why it has had such an impact.” — The Guardian
