4.0 out of 5 stars factually useful but methodologically dubious

4.0 out of 5 stars factually useful but methodologically dubious, September 19, 2008
The length of this publication (commented upon in the previous review) is actually rather helpful, as it can be very hard to get a sense of the Happenings from reading Kaprow's articles. Works are analysed and contextualised in a way that I found very helpful. It's also well illustrated. My only reservation is that Kelley overidentifies with Kaprow to the extent that he seems to ventriloquise him, for the most part uncritically: Kaprow's opinions are presented without references or sources. It's as if he dictated the book to Kelley.
