Negative Positive
Title: Flash and Trash
Review: Note who has contributed the other reviews: politicians, journalists, hack writers. Lee Cullum offers glib, shallow, journalistic analysis. Every cliche you tune out when it appears on The Evening News or Charlie Rose is trooped out here. A litmus test of what the middlebrow thinks. Or rather what passes for thought with such a middlebrow. It's really a truimph of recycling. Cullum makes noises about the decline of civilization with the rise of postmodernism, and then fulfills her own prediction. Only in our era can the journalist actually pass for a thinker--with other journalists that is, who will make sure this book gets a royal sendoff. Change the channel.
