Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-22 00:00:00 Carl Olson Thought provoking and educational about how strong prejudices were, and still are in some areas. I loved the book and had a hard time putting it down. Quick read, but there was a fair amount of foul language.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-02-29 00:00:00 Louis Farthing Here's proof that literary criticism can be sheer joy to read. I might recommend this book for its literary merits alone--Kenner's prose has the depth, precision, and fun of Nabokov's--but the range of learning here is also quite stunning. It's an education. You may not always agree with Kenner's narrative of modernism, but he certainly makes a strong case for the centrality of Pound. As a bonus, you can move on to The Cantos afterwards and commence to make sense of them. I envy those reading it for the first time, but the third and fourth readings ain't so bad either.
