Title: There's not enough God-hatred, dammit
Review: John Simon once referred to Samuel Beckett's misotheism. Which means a hatred of God. And it's too bad that Wood didn't use the word for the pedantic hell of it. Emil Cioran is my favorite misotheist. And luckily he got name-checked by Wood: "And that other chap in Paris, the Romanian, Cioran. I hear he's not too well, the Romanian genes ... Oh, and we need someone to update our Popper piece, pep it up a bit. I've heard he's a wee bit poorly."Cut the crap, Jimbo. That's just the sort of shallow kneejerk alliteration you'd expect from Vladimir Nabokov or Martin Amis.Bunting says: "So I abandon sleep and get up early. 'Man's first duty on rising---to blush for himself', says a favorite philosopher of mine."Right on, daddy-o. The quoted philosopher is Cioran.
Is the review positive or negative?
