Critics Review

“While The Elements of Style has never lacked fans or dutiful adherents, appreciation for this slim volume has taken a turn toward the whimsical and even surreal.”

“So friendly, so classic, so delightful … Kalman has taken ‘the little book’ [The Elements of Style] and made it even more elegant and uplifting.” – Los Angeles Times “While The Elements of Style has never lacked fans or dutiful adherents, appreciation for this slim volume has taken a turn toward the whimsical and even surreal.” – New York Times “The pictures are playful and subtle, which suits the spirit of the beloved bestseller [The Elements of Style].” – USA Today “My absolute favorite book of recent memory: an exquisite and delightful and peculiarly illustrated memoir about … well, the search for the meaning of life. I will be giving this book [The Principles of Uncertainty] to everyone I love.” – Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love
