Reviews of The Private I

“[The Private I] presents us not with answers but with questions—about our attitudes, our preconceptions, our very way of life.” —New York Newsday

“Peacock’s worthy troupe of articulate contributors provocatively illuminate diverse aspects of our contradictory feelings about protecting and violating privacy.” —Booklist

“The Private I is not only a fascinating attempt to landscape a complex issue—it makes a useful, provocative and lasting connection between literature and modern life.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune

“An eclectic group of essays discussing privacy on all levels—global, communal, and personal. Writings from authors as diverse as Dorothy Allison, Yusef Komunyakaa, and Barbara Feldon (Agent 99 in Get Smart) both shed light on this subject and open it up even further.” —City Pages
