    • 2007 September 2, William Deresiewicz, “His Generation”, in New York Times‎:
      Paul’s account of his childhood and youth is energetic, deeply felt and often quite funny in a larkily satiric way: his parents’ emotional withdrawal after his brother’s death; the petty sadism of institutional authority (Gaullism, it seems, writ small); and always, the raging hormones of adolescence.
