"It's no surprise to find in Twenty Questions qualities that have always distinguished J.D. McClatchy's work: sparkling intelligence; learning; an informed immersion in the poetry of our time.... In a noble tradition of the essay, he chooses to write about the writers who interest him, personally, not always part of the familiar academic canon....
