Intellectual craftsmanship and the moral dimensions of art are central themes, as the author critiques the overwhelming influence of theory and extra-literary politics on literature. Through diverse examples, including Foucault and Pulp Fiction, he advocates for a return to core values within the humanities. The work offers a compelling synthesis of principles that could foster unity in a diverse nation, making it a significant commentary on contemporary culture. Recognized as a notable book by the Los Angeles Times and TLS in 1999, it resonates with urgent relevance.
