“A SUITABLE INTRODUCTION TO ONE OF AMERICA’S TOP PETTING ZOOS.”
“TO ASPEN AND BACK IS A LOVELY, BITTERSWEET MEMOIR ABOUT AN IMPORTANT AMERICAN JOURNEY. PEGGY CLIFFORD IS AT ONCE A LYRICAL WRITER AND A NO-NONSENSE INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER. HER STORY OF ‘PROGRESS, AMERICAN STYLE’ IN THIS FAIRYLAND TOWN IS A WONDERFUL, BALANCED PICTURE OF A WAY THAT WE HAVE ALL AFFECTED, OR BEEN AFFECTED BY, THE SO-CALLED ‘AMERICAN DREAM.’ IT IS A FASCINATING VIEW INTO THE SHAKERS AND MOVERS AND LOSERS INVOLVED IN THE CREATION OF A GAUDY AND BEAUTIFUL MONSTER DURING THIS PAST QUARTER CENTURY...AN EVENLY TEMPERED BOOK, WRITTEN RIGHT ON THE NOSE BUT WITHOUT RANCOR: A FINE EVOCATION AND PROVOCATIVE DOCUMENT FOR OUR TIMES.”
“THE BEST SOCIAL HISTORY OF A PERIOD SINCE GATSBY...CLIFFORD’S GIVEN US A BEAUTIFUL READ...AND A MOST ACCURATE PICTURE OF A PULVERIZED AND SEARCHING AMERICA.”
