[. . .] Readers who light up at the mention of celebrity will delight
in Angell's brief references to W. Somerset Maugham and Vladimir
Nabokov, and will get a kick out of his recollections of fellow New
Yorker staffers Charles McGrath, William Shawn, founder Harold Ross,
William Mazwell and the like. But it is his dance with the familiar in
LET ME FINISH that reaps its due reward. [. . .]
