Eric Phetteplace’s Reviews > Against Interpretation and Other Essays > Status Update

The 2 opening essays, Against Interpretation and On Style, are simply fantastic. But a lot of the volume is about contemporary 1960s continental trends in art that are no longer surprising in the US, and drama/film I'm not interested in. Many essays are mostly book reviews—ones with more enduring value than your average review, sure, but still reviews. On the whole I feel this collection has not aged well.
