"I put off reading this for years, Ezra Pound not seeming to me worth all those pages. I was wrong. Though Kenner didn't sell me on Pound necessarily, I am more appreciative."
"Here's proof that literary criticism can be sheer joy to read.
I might recommend this book for its literary merits alone--Kenner's prose has the depth, precision, and fun of Nabokov's--but the range of learning here is also quite stunning. It's an education. You may not always agree with Kenner's narrative of modernism, but he certainly makes a strong case for the centrality of Pound. As a bonus, you can move on to The Cantos afterwards and commence to make sense of them.
I envy those reading it for the first time, but the third and fourth readings ain't so bad either."
