I have no idea how to describe this book; it was often brilliant, in that Goodman is able to point out, as few people I know, just how what he calls the "sociolatry" functions, and what the unspoken bases of our (collective) inter/actions are. As a *story*, I probably didn't understand everything, and/or where, exactly it was leading, if anywhere-- but all the same, this was a tremendously satisfying read. ( )
