In Praise of Forgetting: Historical Memory and Its Ironies by David Rieff

2.0

Starting this book because it was short and I was in the middle of a reading slump was a huge mistake. HUGE. This book was mostly a literature review. The language is opaque and academic and the author clearly expects you to already know the subject. It's also mostly philosophical, which is my least favorite kind of political text.

This was given to me by my graduate school advisor, and of course it was just like the graduate program she ran: too short, too full of itself, and ended right as I started understanding what the fuck was going on.
