Heather Lyle

does the cover mimic western orientalist aesthetics? yes! it makes me p uncomfortable! but the contents r rly incredible!

a cross-cultural synthesis of dozens of theories, techniques, and practices that bear on the voice. but lyle gives credit where it's due, admits ignorance when appropriate, and makes an effort to appreciate, respect, and communicate the original contexts of the non-western (and western) practices she draws on

a perfect combination of just a little bit of detail on theory, synthesis, and exposition, and a lot of detail on practice, execution, and experience

also the TOC organization is amazing!! i am a sucker for good TOCs… (meer)
