Nubar’s Reviews > Selections from the Prison Notebooks > Status Update

I understand what he is saying about the intellectuals (and the intellectual movement) and I agree with what he is saying about the bourgeoise. However, the writing seems so all over the place to me that I am unable to connect all the parts together to really deeply understand Gramscian narrative here yet.

I am very excited to read this book because I have used Gramsci quotes and ideas before in my papers for university but I had never engaged with his work directly. However, it is a little bit hard for me to follow for now, either because his writing is a little confusing or more so because the introductions fragment the text. It would be better if this book has his writings without giving so much background.
