Summary: Phillips best
Review: Adam Phillips has excelled himself. This is a book that repays careful reading. What Phillips has to say - in his cool calm, and slyly humourous way - about how we construct relationships to others, and our relationship to ourself, (particularly about how we can learn to listen)is not only cogent and unique, but also stems from a deep compassion.
Phillips 'literary' essays included in this volume could be a model for essayists everywhere, if any still exist. His writing on Primo Levi for example, shows tremendous insight.
