This collection of essays by such notable writers as Alfred Kazin, Arthur Schlesinger and Stephen Jay Gould would have been better served by a single reader. Instead, each of the fifteen portrayals is voiced by a different person. And when you're using a range of talent represented by the likes of Susan Anspach and Arte Johnson, you're not likely to get a consistent result. Some of the stories play like dry histories; others are more riveting. One experienced reader could have provided a balance of content to the whole project that it now, unfortunately, lacks.
