Praise
“As this decade in America careens, recoils, and shrieks along, Paul Goodman appears increasingly as our most exemplary intellectual, that is, the most deeply representative and the most worthy one.”
–Theodore Solatoroff in The Washington Post
“Goodman’s frightening brilliance and integrity scared people, for his was the honesty of the moral man who saw things and connections with clarity that others did not even know were there. Writers and thinkers have a vogue. They are in fashion or forgotten. If Goodman is forgotten, if his work is found only in ash heaps, it is where humanity will end up.”
–Marcus Raskin, co-founder, Institute for Policy Studies
“His pleading, sane, frank, troubled and by now tired voice is one of the truest and wisest in American life.”
–Kenneth Keniston, New York Times
