quote about Paul Berman's new book on Tariq Ramadan

from a "Books of the Times" review by Dwight Garner:

"[Paul Berman is] self-congratulatory about his coups of reading and synthesis, his turning up of important details in other people’s footnotes. Yet his own book has no foot- or endnotes at all."!
