Going Into the City (full title: Going into the City: Portrait of a Critic as a Young Man) is a 2015 memoir by American music critic Robert Christgau.
Critical reception
Writing for the New York Times, Dave Itzkoff gave the book a favorable review, saying, among other things, that the chapter about Christgau and his wife's difficulties conceiving a child was "surely one of the book’s most touching sections."[1] Henry Hauser of Consequence of Sound compared the book favorably to Christgau's reviews, saying they were both "dense, tight, and brimming with insight."[2] Writing for the Guardian, Joanna Scutts said that in the book, Christgau "embraces" the challenge of "saying something new and distinctive...with undimming energy."[3]
