...novel is not merely a sentimental binge. Paris, Venice and the Riviera shimmer before the reader's eye like mirages evoked by Remarque's lovingly descriptive touch. And he has more than a trace of the gift that Cyril Connolly once noted in Hemingway of "saturating his books with the memory of physical pleasure, with sunshine and salt water, with food, wine and making love, and with the remorse which is the shadow of that sun."

Giggling & Mysticism. Barrister Christmas Humphreys, longtime head of the British Buddhist Society, counters that Koestler cannot talk about Zen from the outside as if it were a religion or a philosophy, when it is nothing less than enlightenment. Critic Cyril Connolly, while praising the book, suggests that Koestler has the "metaphysical shortcoming" of not being able temperamentally to deny the existence of the physical world. But Swiss Psychiatrist Carl Jung surprisingly praises Koestler's "needful act of debunking, for which he deserves our gratitude...
