A complete pleasure to read! Making fun of the Method is so much fun, honestly. Enelow is, of course, a scholar of the Method, and Levine's monologue really just mocks it relentlessly. Both do so with deep, probing, philosophical questions.

Love Shonni Enelow, love whenever she's on a podcast and her book is amazing. David Levine is also fantastic, and this book does a great job of working out the speculative and psychoanalytic limits and foundations of method acting.
