Texts: Collected Book Reviews from Joseph Campbell to Deleuze and Guattari

Ebert on Deleuze & Guattari; Ebert on Slavoj Zizek; Ebert on Jean Baudrillard; Ebert on Paul Virilio; Ebert on Peter Sloterdijk, etc. etc. It's all here: fifteen years of John David Ebert's collected book reviews from his early days as a Joseph Campbell scholar right up to his reviews of Boris Groys in 2014. Numbering almost 60 in total, these book reviews constitute a disguised intellectual autobiography of an American culture critic who began as a myth studies scholar, became disillusioned with the field of comparative mythology, and moved on into the wider field of Continental Critical Theory. This book contains valuable synopses of difficult theory classics such as A Thousand Plateaus, Difference and Repetition, Simulacra and Simulation and Peter Sloterdijk's Spheres I: Bubbles. The equivalent of a museum retrospective spanning fifteen years in the development of an American culture critic, Texts provides its readers with an invaluable insight into the career of an intellectual who shifted from New York publishing to self-publishing during the so-called "new media invasion" of the Internet and digital technology which changed all the rules of the game and gave a new meaning to the phrase "do it yourself."
