Status Updates From The Strange Case of William...

It is kind of interesting seeing contemporary accounts but the author really seems to not want to pick a side- instead he seems to be presenting evidence and letting you decide? It’s not what I expected.

"an edited selection of primary source documents from the 1860s and 1870s, including Mumler's memoirs...and numerous newspaper accounts. These documentary sources are sandwiched between two essays of my own..."

man oh man, dude must have tenure because I can't see how any other academic could get away with publishing a book of mostly primary sources. Material seems interesting but I was expecting something more.

It is interesting that such scam pieces from history, art now viewed as art, and exhibited as such. How time and progress can change society's view of things.

I am really like 30 pages into the book, buy those pages are the Roman numerals that do not count.
