The back of the book wrapper reads: "What, in addition to its subject matter, gives 'Courtesans and Fishcakes' its compulsive readability is the realization, very early on, that Davidson is at least one jump ahead of the fieldÖAn ultra-radical himself in his approach, he is nevertheless gleefully deconstructing the deconstructionists throughout, in the name of revisionist logic. Whenever he sees that the Emperor of Theory has no clothes, he says so loudly, cogently, and with irreverent relish. What 'Courtesans and Fishcakes' celebrate is the richness and complexity (in Athens, as it happens, but could be anywhere), not just of sex but of all the appetites, indeed of life as a wholeÖ" by Peter Green, Times Literary Supplement.
