Title: Makes very important points...like his style or not
Review: Read the reviews that have been posted here about this book...at this time (9/20/99), all of the negative reviews are mean, spiteful and insulting, seemingly written in anger (and mostly anonymous). The positive reviews are thoughtful and well-considered. Can there be a more telling statement about this book?It takes only a cursory look around to see that Purdy's hit the nail on the head...no matter how "experienced" you are (as some other reviewers proudly deem themselves), you don't have to be bitter, you don't have to be cynical--it's your choice. Purdy makes the excellent point that these things poison the very structures within which we exist.If these simple concepts are naive, priggish, or laughable...then what's left for us?
