Reviews
"One of the most vital cultural histories I've ever read. Hoberman's deceptively easygoing yet deliriously compacted prose threads history through movie lore through McLuhanesque media criticism. . . . An extraordinary publishing event." --David Edelstein, Slate

"So invigorating that I had to ration myself to a chapter a week." --John Patterson, The Guardian

"Nobody in America writes as well about culture and film as J. Hoberman." --Peter Biskind

"Packs a salient and unique wallop." --Publishers Weekly
