A Picture's Worth is testimony to Friedman's eye for detail, for finding music in the minutiae, and to his precise use of language; pared down, it is a distillation that opens wonderful vistas for the reader. 'Shakespearean' figures come to life off the page, sometimes merging into recognisable people you could meet today.
