5.0 out of 5 stars
Great essays, but one less than what I hoped for, March 25, 2006
This review is from: Ornament and Crime: Selected Essays. (Studies in Austrian Literature, Culture, and Thought. Translation Series) (Paperback)
I was a bit disappointed that this volume did not include "The Poor Little Rich Man" in its selection, but it is otherwise a nice collection of Loos' delightful and insightful essays. In addition to "Ornament and Crime", this book gives you:
