PRAISE FOR BLOOMINGTON GAYS Cronin’s latest book about the Bloomington that he loves, but also loves to hate, is by far his most personal. Because of this, the book is not only entertaining, as we have come to expect of him, but also enlightening. Do read it! Kenneth R. R. Gros Louis, University Chancellor and Trustee Professor, Indiana University PRAISE FOR BLOOMINGTON DAYS Why did I purchase six copies of Bloomington Days for Chanukah and Christmas presents last year? Blaise Cronin’s hilarious yet affectionate words capture the bucolic surrealism of B-town for its happy inhabitants and for those misguided souls only passing through. Susan D. Gubar, Distinguished Professor Emerita of English, Indiana University, and author of Rooms of Our Own PRAISE FOR BLOOMINGTON DAZE With his native Irish wit, Blaise bursts many pretensions of both Town and Gown … altogether it is a joy to read. J. Michael Dunn, Oscar E, Ewing Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and Dean Emeritus of Informatics, Indiana University PRAISE FOR BLOOMINGTON GAZE Blaise Cronin’s witty, irreverent and amusing third book on the life of a university town in Middle America … invites rereading for both pure pleasure as well as for its intellectual rigor. Andrea Ciccarelli, Professor of Italian, Indiana University, and co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to the Italian Novel
