Review # 1 was written on 2008-06-23 00:00:00 Francis Fallot Have I really read this book? Hell no! But that doesn't matter. The title alone merits a couple of stars. That and the fact that this kind of subject matter's been elevated to the level of academic discourse. Look at the walls of your ivory tower now, motherfucker. They're smeared with Chaucer's feces! As my grad-level hermeneutics professor would say, it's thanks to the phenomenon of phenomenology that we would even entertain the notion of putting subject matter like this under academic scrutiny. I'm pushing (pun intended) for my library to get a copy of this. I'm predicting that this will be the new bestseller that will go down in infamy in the anals, ahem, annals of history.
