When Falls the Coliseum is full of humor and satire, vigorous discussion, energetic short fiction, reviews, occasional strangeness, and more loudmouthed opinions than you can shake a big stick at, if you are the sort who shakes sticks (we gave up the practice ourselves several years ago, along with walking softly). Some of our writers might be defined as liberal, conservative, or libertarian, some as Christian, Jewish, or atheist. Others don't own dictionaries and can't say for sure what they are. Some are writers by trade; some actually work for a living. Some are motivated by high political and philosophical ideals; some just hate bad service at restaurants and think you need to hear about it. They come from all corners of the fruited plains, and all of them are, like everyone else in this country, sure they're right.

Great Book,
By Gennadiy Geyler (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When Falls the Coliseum: a journal of American culture (or lack thereof) (Paperback)
Scott Stein is my humanities professor at Drexel University. This guy has an incredible talent for teaching a class, and it directly transforms to his writing. Students love to critcize his work, which he takes well. That must be one of the reasons why his writing is so great. At first if you read some of the essays, you might think he is insane, but if you understand them, you will have a great idea of what these essay are talking about. C.P. Kaiser writes very well also, but using a different strategy to approach his point. If you like politics, religion, or just want a good laugh, read this book and you won't regret it.
