The Financial Times reviews Capital: "a book to get lost in for hours"

Capital is unreadable in the sense that much of Goldsmith’s work is — meant to be dipped into, to surprise, like a chance encounter on the street. The infinite richness of the city is an apt form for his ambition. Capital is a book to get lost in for hours, like some obscure corner of the Lower East Side; it helps us see the universe in a chunk of asphalt.
