Jackson Hengsterman’s Reviews > Evolution of Desire: A Life of René Girard > Status Update

Love Girard, love that this book exists, etc. But Haven, God bless her, is clearly a chronicler—not a writer. This sentence—and the book is filled with them—shows what I mean: “Publish or perish is a cliché, but the number and eminence of scholarly articles and books mattered enormously in academic advancement.”
I’m a bit uncharitable because I haven’t eaten today. But still. That’s bad, right?
