Elise,
It's a tough one. Given the nature of internet discourse, I figured some uncharitable things might be said, but even I was surprised by the vehemence of at least one of the amazon reviews I read. The 'review' was distasteful, in a shocking way, as it tried unsuccessfully to make some minor point about poetics. Predictable, but saddening nonetheless.
Full disclosure: Ed signed my doctoral dissertation. So perhaps I'm unable to give a disinterested view. I may be informed, but certainly not objective. Is there a discussion beyond the public reviews?
Best,
Bill
