"Everything Anthony Esolen writes is of the first importance. Sex and the Unreal City is the latest stunning case in point. It is a hauntingly beautiful meditation on the tragic flaws of our age by one of America's deepest and most original thinkers. Read it, give it, treasure it."
— Mary Eberstadt, Author, Primal Screams: How the Sexual Revolution Created Identity Politics
"Brick by brick Anthony Esolen definitively deconstructs the Unreal Sexual City crumbling around us and leads us back into the intellectual joy of the only truly real city—the City of God. A must-read for all who are seeking the pathway of truth in a world gone mad."
— Sue Ellen Browder, Author, Subverted and Sex and the Catholic Feminist
"Anthony Esolen is not merely a pundit or even a prognosticator. He is a prophet—the rare doctor who nails the diagnosis, exposes the false treatments that have made the patient sicker, and applies the lasting cure. Elegant sock-to-the-jaw prose."
— Patrick Coffin, Author, The Contraception Deception; Co-Founder, CoffinNation.com

— Louis Markos, Ph.D., Professor of English, Houston Baptist University
"If logic is hate speech and common sense bigotry, buckle up for a compelling dose of it in this brilliantly written and expertly argued book."
— Matt Fradd, Host, Pints with Aquinas; Author, The Porn Myth
"As the darkness falls, this is a prescription for what ails us. Read and reread. Then pray that scales fall from our eyes, cataracts are removed, and we see what was always in plain view."
— Peter J. Scaer, Ph.D., Chairman of Exegetical Theology, Concordia Theological Seminary
