Entitlement
#X93;Bennett demonstrates a real talent for evoking the affectless, indulgent ‘eccentricities' of the surpassingly (and perpetually) wealthy ... Bennett manages it all deftly. He can weave a tale and has the chops to keep it all in a literary vein ... this is a good book with a crackerjack ending." – The Globe and Mail “Bennett's storytelling is effortless in its pace and time shifts, and his dialogue glints like a sharpened knife." – The Walrus BackLit bonus material includes an author interview, discussion questions, and recommended reading.
Kant's Dialectic

Linguistic Behaviour
". . . advances aggressively through pertinent and lively argument. . . . There are numerous brief and incisive responses to important philosophers of language (Sellars, Quine, Dummett, Putnam, Chomsky, Ziff) on issues of major significance and no little controversy." -- Margaret Urban Coyne, International Philosophical Quarterly
The Colonial Hotel
This devastating tale of love and war is “in Graham Greene territory . . . A solid novel on morality in our not-quite-postcolonial world” (The Globe and Mail, Toronto). A doctor and a nurse, Paris and Helen, are doing humanitarian work in a nation on the brink of civil war. They have also fallen in love with each other—and Helen is pregnant with their child. Then, a confrontation breaks out and they are swept up by rebel forces and separated. One is imprisoned while the other escapes. In The Colonial Hotel—which recasts a classic story of ancient Greece into a modern setting—we learn of their fates, in a brutally powerful story of family, forgiveness, and identity. “An exploration of love and grief, the power of storytelling, the pains of parenthood and uncomfortable truths . . . Bennett has cleverly and sensitively described the many types of love tested by war . . . Rewarding and intensely moving . . . Devastatingly beautiful.” —National Post

Central Themes in Early Modern Philosophy
"Central Themes in Early Modern Philosophy is a selection of some of the best work being done in early modern philosophy by Anglo-American philosophers today. . . . The essays in this collection are historically informed and philosophically challenging. The book is a fitting tribute to Jonathan Bennett." -- Daniel Garber, University of Chicago
Civil and Civic
' "As accomplished as Jonathan Bennett is at using language, he's never fussy or precious about it. With his exacting, contemporary voice, part colourful reporter, part reluctant witness, his lines gain their effect by serving experience in the most necessary way possible, via clear-eyed attention and vivid diction. The result is an immediacy often lacking in other poetry. Civil and Civic's nimble narratives will crackle in your ear." \t' David O'Meara, author of Noble Gas, Penny Black The poems of Jonathan Bennett's second collection, Civil and Civic, probe for present meanings of civility and civic mindedness, search for boundaries between private and public realms, and question the sprawl...
