Dalrymple writes a clear and considered prose that makes him formidable indeed.
David Pryce-Jones

Paul Hollander

The brutal, penetrating honesty of his thinking and the vividness of his prose make Theodore Dalrymple ... Read morethe George Orwell of our time.
Denis Dutton, Editor

His gift for storytelling will keep readers turning pages.
The Christian Century
Theodore Dalrymple is the best doctor-writer since William Carlos Williams.
Peggy Noonan There is so much learning and unconventional wisdom in it that you want to make the reading last.
Norman Stone Theodore Dalrymple is the Edmund Burke of our age.... Our Culture, What's Left of It is not simply an important book, it is a necessary one.
Roger Kimball Dalrymple's moral courage shines through the most. Compelling reading; highly recommended.
Library Journal
Engrossing. Dalrymple is intelligent, witty, uncommonly perceptive about human affairs, and scathingly honest about human folly.
Edward J. Sozanski
The Philadelphia Inquirer
It's rare for someone to produce a work on social issues that is so readable.
Kevin Walker
Tampa Tribune
Insightful....[Dalrymple is a] profound British social critic.

Striking. Most collections of essays are lackluster affairs, but Dalrymple's is an exception.
Jacob Heilbrunn
The New York Times
Penetrating analysis and literary eloquence make the book a worthy read for anyone concerned with the fate of civilization.
Andrew Martin
Courier-Journal
The manner in which Dalrymple wields his critical scalpel fixes our attention...he makes no promise to fix our condition.
Jay Martin
Antioch Review
It's rare to find such a morally coherent, historically informed and human account as Our Culture, What's Left of It.
Rev. Johannes L. Jacobse
Town Hall
Whether you find Dalrymple refreshing or infuriating will depend on your political point of view. Dalrymple calls them as he sees them, and there is not an ounce of political correctness in him.
Bruce Ramsey
The Seattle Times
Ridiculously prolific and a favorite of bloggers.... He's one of the very best social critics of our age.
Brothers Judd
The book is elegantly written, conscientiously argued, provocative and fiercely committed...measured polemics arouse disgust, shame and despair: they will shake many readers' views of their physical surroundings and cultural assumptions, and have an enriching power to improve the way that people think and act.
Richard Davenport-Hines
Times Literary Supplement
Theodore Dalrymple makes a devastating diagnosis of liberalism's recent ills.
Randy Boyagoda

Dalrymple has acquired a following on the sarcastic right; if anything, the thoughtful left should be reading him.

The sobering, fiery and ominous truth.
Stanley Crouch
Tulsa World
This highly intelligent and perceptive writer never hesitates to 'tell it like it is'.
Angela Ellis-Jones
Salisbury Review
These bracing essays horrify, irritate, enlighten, amuse. They also stir you to remember, as Dalrymple puts it, what we have to lose.
Roger Kimball
New York Sun
Read the words of a man who has been on the street...who brings a vast intelligence to his conclusions.
Stanley Crouch

A clear-eyed assessment of the human condition at the beginning of the 21st century.
