Title: Scholarship?
Review: Adam Bellow can't be denied the right to take his own stance on social and historical matters. Certainly not when he is so well placed in the publishing industry. If only all interested laypersons had the connections needed to get their theorizing into print.And a layperson he is. There is nothing in point of research or development of ideas that is not thoroughly amateurish. The writing quality is such as one would expect from an indifferent English major, tolerable for ten or twenty pages and no more. Why could these inchoate ruminations not be imparted to friends and family in a restaurant or barroom, if they cared to listen?I must confess that a great fondness for his late father led me to purchase this work. I suppose I deserve what I got.
Is the review positive or negative?
