Title: Seligman Leaves the Reader Dangling
Product review: While I found the book completely engaging from beginning to end, I couldn't help but think that there's something "off" about the author (at points, his interest in Sontag and Kael borders on sociopathic -- what's this about him having "many opportunities" to meet Sontag, and not wanting to? Is he afraid of her?). Craig Seligman is an excellent writer, but only a so-so critic. He draws the reader in with his enthusiasm for his subjects, but leaves the reader dangling... The book, it seems, he wrote for himself. You have to be in his head to get the full picture of his obsession. And I wonder what Sontag and Kael would think of him.
