Writings of Otis L. Graham, Jr.
"Graham's writings are uncommonly graceful, marked by apt quotations, incisive
wit, flashing irony, and acute insights. Also, he exhibits a balanced and
sharp skepticism that does not degenerate into sophomoric nihilism. He is a
self-controlled cynic, an idealist not quite gone sour."
--Jordan Schwartz, review of LOSING TIME,
in REVIEWS IN AMERICAN HISTORY (Sept.,
1994).
