Styles of Radical Will

Synopsis

This collection of essays contains some of the most important pieces of criticism of the twentieth century, including the classics 'the aesthetics of silence', a brilliant account of language, thought and consciousness, and 'trip to hanoi', written during the vietnam war. Here too is an excoriating account of america's identity and future, a robust and surprising discussion of pornography and other richly rewarding writings on art, film, literature and politics.
