3.0 out of 5 stars
and a rather ignorant reader in Berkeley, at that, June 23, 2003
This review is from: Icons of the Left: Benjamin and Eisenstein, Picasso and Kafka after the Fall of Communism (Paperback)
I can't judge this book, since I haven't read it. I do know, however, that Werkmeister, whatever one thinks of his politics or his scholarship, is hardly a "typical bourgeois academic." a life that early on encountered first-hand both Nazism and communism guaranteed that. in any event, self-styled anti-intellectuals are among the few things even more tiresome than blinkered academics.
