Spencer Williams reviewed Passion for Ignorance by Renata Salecl
Review of 'Passion for Ignorance' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
Picked it up, read a a chapter or so (there are only 7 chapters in the entire book), and was thoroughly unimpressed. It reads like a middle-schooler hastily putting together a "research paper" comprised of all the various quotes and anecdotes they googled the night before that seemed tangentially related to the assigned subject, but not particularly related to one another.
I bounced ahead to the other chapters, reading a bit to see if there were signs of improvement as the book progressed. There were not.
No real conclusions are drawn, and no real insight is offered. Just a loose collection of anecdotes, some mutually-conflicting, from which no inference or connection is even attempted.
It might make an okay addition to the local "little free library", if I thought it was worth anyone's time to read.
