title: B & Me: A True Story of Literary Arousal
author:  J.C. Hallman 
description: <span>"Unabashed enthusiasm and wit about living with a deep relationship with books...I fell in love with Hallman's book." </span><b><span>--</span></b><b><span>San Francisco Chronicle</span></b><span></span><br /><br /><span>"Funny and daring...a treasure trove of literary anecdotes and insider information....Besides [being] an entertaining story of book lust and physical lust, Hallman teaches us a great deal about literature, storytelling, and writing." </span><b><span>--</span></b><b><span>Blogcritics</span></b><br /><br /><span>"It's about the most fun reading you've experienced in years....Thank the good sweet lord for [<i>B &amp; Me</i>]...Give us something messy and unfilmable and weird and slightly embarrassing. Give us J.C. Hallman. Instead of some artfully rendered enactment of cultural sensitivity that flatters my own sophistication, Hallman has written a book that's both enthralling and unnerving. Praise be." </span><b><span>--</span></b><b><span>Quarterly Conversation</span></b><span></span><br /><br /><span>"A fascinating thing to behold: literary criticism that's deeply personal, hysterically funny and starkly honest in addition to being scholarly and trenchant. We get to see how a writer's work "works" on a reader, affecting his thoughts and opinions on all manner of things: art, cinema, society's uneasy shift from the machine age to the digital era, the future of books as physical objects, and -- especially -- the mysteries and complications of human intimacy." </span><b><span>--</span></b><b><span>Washington Post</span></b><br /><br /><span>"[<i>B &amp;</i>Me] marks a return to the Impressionistic criticism of France... It is also a throwback to the era when Malcolm Cowley, Dwight Macdonald, Mary McCarthy, Susan Sontag, and Edmund Wilson...were producing some of the most exciting literary criticism in America...The effect of following Hallman's mind in action is at times droll and even exhilarating." </span><b><span>--</span></b><b><span>The Chronicle of Higher Education</span></b>
