“Lance Morrow is one of America’s greatest and most enduring journalists and essayists. He is venerable.” —Peggy Noonan ""In God and Mammon—this original, wide-traveling, and thoroughgoing essay on the troubled yet unbreakable union of America’s two deities—Lance Morrow displays the cool passion that distinguishes him among contemporary writers. No stylist is as elegant. No one has more to say about an essential subject, or says it more beautifully. A mesmerizing portrait of our gorgeous, corruptible, soul."" —Roger Rosenblatt, author of Making Toast “What must it be like to write like Lance Morrow? Not just with exceptional intellect and command of language, but with an enviable collection of mental furniture—just the right reference; the perfect anecdote—and a mind that remembers everything. Goodness, what a talent. What a joy to read his essays.” —Robert Pondiscio, Thomas B. Fordham Institute “Brilliantly effervescent and eloquent. One can hardly wait for the appointment of the first national Prose Laureate—Lance Morrow. What a writer and what prose!” —Lionel Tiger, Charles Darwin Professor of Anthropology, Emeritus, Rutgers University
