  Book Reviews

Nothing Serious

• Kirkus described the book as follows: "A hip editor takes the helm of Cogito, a stodgy philosophical journal, with mixed—and occasionally hilarious—results."
• New York Journal of Books reviewer Karl Wolff wrote, “... a rollicking farce... a tightly plotted comedic tale with a genuine emotional center and a sharp satirical wit.”
