4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating
Walter Benn Michaels has really interesting and unusual ideas. He reads texts in ways that nobody else does. If you are well versed in books like The Great Gatsby, The Sun Also Rises, The Sound and the Fury, and An American Tragedy, you will enjoy reading Michael's take on these texts.

1.0 out of 5 stars I hate this book
This book is really boring. It's language is confusing, its references to other obscure pieces of literature are too complex, and it just really stinks.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great, daring, and original book, June 4, 2001
By A Customer
Walter Benn Micheals is one of the most brilliant, gifted literary critics in the world. His prose is extremely clear, and his thought is equally challenging.
