The Figures

"The book taps into the deepest strains of Pop Art's leveling of artistic and social hierarchies...This book is the grinning slacker brother to Chaucer's cross-class ventriloquy in The Canterbury Tales, one that, in essence, arrives hot off the press every day."—Publishers Weekly 

"Neither revisionist nor nostalgic, Goldsmith’s project insists on appropriation, a strategy well established in music and visual art, as an important literary possibility."—BOMB Magazine

"Every time one opens Day, something thought-provoking seems to turn up. Of how many books can that be said?"—Art in America
