"Corngold offers a shrewd and balanced take on a much-studied figure. This sharp, focused work will impress historians and scholars of German literature."
"Corngold documents, in depth and with an excellent eye for detail, [an] important stage in Mann’s American life. . . . The picture of Mann that emerges from his book is rich, multilayered and always fascinating."---Costica Bradatan, Washington Post

"This well-written study provides an in-depth account of Thomas Mann’s tenure at Princeton. . . . Corngold’s book is a welcome contribution."
"A vivid testimony to the profound disconcertions of a life and mind in transit and offers an immensely insightful account of the intellectual and personal quandaries that preoccupied Thomas Mann in Princeton."---Margarete Tiessen, German History
"Absorbing."---Alex Ross, The Rest is Noise
