Not worth hassle.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Im disappointed by the two earlier reviews of this bookBy CustomerIm disappointed by the two earlier reviews of this book. Rayners book is one of the finest studies available of the phenomenology of theater. The writing is dense but consistently rewarding in the same way that Maurice Merleau-Pontys writings and those of other Continental philosophers are.. If the pages are printed upside down; then this is the publishers issue and needs to be corrected; but the book itself is seriously brilliant.0 of 15 people found the following review helpful. Not a Ghost of a ChanceBy K. HollencampThis book is not what it seems. It is a heavy psychological work that drags and twists back on it self. I found no useful information in it.
