From: "L Spencer" <L.SPENCER-AT-TASC.AC.UK> Date: Tue, 2 Nov 1999 12:46:19 +0000 Subject: Re: BOOK QUERY Thanks, Andrew Putter for accepting the "correction" or suggestion on the Cohen book: viz that the book wasn't really that abstruse. I looked at it again and there is a kind of detour via Althusser which seems unnecessary (the result surely of some PhD supervision or something). But it does not intrude. But I agree with you that it is anything but unput-downable. Given its subject matter it is surprisingly lacking in fizz. It is not at all close to the things Benjamin (or the Surrealists) were close to ... A book on such a subject matter sounds as if it would be a treasure trove of the unexpected. But it is incredibly predictable. But thorough, precise, reliable. Lloyd -------- from list seminar-11-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu -------
