John Summers has never been afraid to speak his mind.
Columbia Journalism Review


Summers writes pieces that traverse multiple disciplines—history, sociology, literature—and bristle with elegant pugnacity. His sentences resound with the clatter and clank of fresh thought coming hard up against the intellectual armor protecting powerful institutions.
Bookforum


Summers shows a mastery of the drily ironic style that would stand any social critic in very good stead. It will be fun to see him develop it.
