Mandel’s essays scrutinize the leap from modern to postmodern writing. Mandel also examines individual writers such as Gary Geddes, Leonard Cohen, P.K. Page, Frank Davey, Margaret Atwood and John Glassco.”The quality of Mandel’s criticism is uniformly high. He grinds no particular literary axe, speaks for no school but the school of intelligent inquiry.”–Books in Canada
