Title: not silly
Product review: "Revisioning Italy" is a collection of essays exploring contemporary Italian culture, including literature, cinema, the media, and other such cultural elements. A book like this might be called "cultural criticism," and while that might not be everyone's cup of tea, the open-minded will find this book to be a long-awaited treasure trove of ideas and theories about contemporary Italy. The articles themselves are well-researched and well-written. The previous reviewer describes this book as "silly." Really the only "silly" thing is his easy dismissal of this interesting book, and especially his seemingly arbitrary assertion that the selections by Italian writers are better when there are so many interesting contributions from non-italian academics here.
