“Goodman at her best finds the precise images which give concrete meaning to abstractions like exploitation or alienation…Her attempts are orignal and ambitious in the best sense of the word.” —San Francisco Review of Books

“The chief value of this book is the high degree of clarity with which it conveys her perceptions about professional life in the middle echelons of the corporate structure. Goodman’s language has a stark candor that is captivating as her lines move cleanly though ruggedly through their transitions.” —John Gery, Swallow’s Tale

“I value its special watchfulness— over landscapes, love, houses, change—and its singular sense of fellowship.” —Pamela Hadas
