Eccentric Existence
Anyone who is asked to write a review essay, I suspect, harbors a secret hope that the book being evaluated will not be of fair-to-decent quality, thereby requiring a balanced account of its pros and cons, but will instead prove unusually bad or unusually good. If the book is unusually bad, marred by obvious, egregious, and perhaps dangerous flaws, one has the opportunity to respond with a vigorous Nein! One can do more than identify and criticiz…
