i think it's ok to want more from Literature but most reviews reveal more about the author than the text itself... but that's my review of the review lol

it's possible to hate both america and poetry without throwing ocean vuong under the bus... bitterness is not the same as literary criticism

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

The Structure of a Slavoj Zizek Essay Remember this Looney Tunes bit? It's a bit like this obscure event from revolutionary history, isn't it? 3. It's all because of this thing out of Freud (Lacan). 4. But not the stupid, obvious interpretation, which stupid left-wing activists believe because they are stupid children. 5. You can also see the same thing at work in this current event that everybody's talking about. 6. Surprisingly, the most revolutionary position to take vis-a-vis this current event is basically the same as the mainstream liberal position. This is because of dialectics.
