The majority of this book is written on a level ...By Floating SignifierThe majority of this book is written on a level for weak grad students and inappropriate for undergrads. The material is presented in first person and delivered with the intent of making aesthetic theory personable and readable; instead. it comes across as one mans opinion.... until the interviews. Sheesh and yikes. The interviews are dated. lacking in dignity. and. at times. sexist. Despite facing the wrath of the campus bookstore I am sending these back.
