Reviews Of Neil Thomas Proto's Other Works

Reviews of Neil Thomas Proto’s other works, including his literary award–winning books, Fearless: A. Bartlett Giamatti and the Battle for Fairness in America (2019) and To a High Court: Five Bold Law Students Challenge Corporate Greed and Change the Law (2023), follow:

“Possibly it is the best solo play ever written.”

The Reckoning: Pecora for the Public – Drama in the Hood

“Proto’s “writing was surprisingly poetic….[H]aving seen the original production of a great play destined to go down in history…[that was] not only highly significant for our era, but for any era.”

The Reckoning: Pecora for the Public – Drama in the Hood

“The personalities he draws are sharp and ready-made for a Hollywood adaptation, and his insider’s look at how the Supreme Court works is fascinating in its own right, at once enormously informative and genuinely entertaining.”

To a High Court – Kirkus Reviews (Our verdict: GET IT), Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2023

“Proto writes with the candor, directness, thoroughness, and passionate pursuit of truth that also characterized Giamatti. His compelling biography is a shining achievement.”

Fearless: A. Bartlett Giamatti – Nick Kotz, Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter and author
