Craig E. Mattson reviewing My many selves: the quest for a plausible harmony, in "Keeping company with Wayne Booth--a review essay," Christian scholar's review 38, no. 2 (Winter 2009): 298. "Put differently, Booth failed to convince me that there will always be another voice to be heard in the quest for self-knowledge. Someday we will be know even as we are known." I have not read the book in question, or any Booth, for that matter.
