Description:
"Mullan shows how literary anonymity excites its opposite--curiosity, controversy, conflict, and notoriety. Anonymity is accessible, thorough, and interesting."--Sophie Gee, author of The Scandal of the Season: A Novel
"A great book. Mullan's historical reach and subtle eye equip him to write a witty, and incisive, biography of Anonymous."--Nicholas Dames, Columbia University
Review Quotes: "[Mullan] has written an excellent book--in essence, a series of case histories of anonymous or pseudonymous publication. . . . Some of the cases involve major works, others curious minor ones. All of them are recounted with crisp good sense and a lively eye for anecdotal detail."---John Gross, Wall Street Journal
