Title: Barely Readable
Product review: I got this book thinking it would be some grand radical indictment of our culture and offer some ways around it. After all, that's its reputation. I wanted to like it. I expected to like it. Turns out, it's a bunch of ideological mumbo-jumbo in the typical boring style of your average French intellectual (albeit van Eigem's a little angrier than most). Maybe what van Eigem and Debord had to say about the society of the spectacle was insightful and accurate. I don't know, because van Eigem's style killed any point he tried to make.If there's a cliff's notes version somewhere, I recommend checking that out instead.
