Schmuhl's appeal for reason and moderation is a salutary one, and Indecent Liberties provides a quietly refreshing respite in the midst of the confusion and cacophony of contemporary American life." —Chicago Tribune"In Indecent Liberties, Robert Schmuhl wisely suggests that we remember the value of moderation.
