I thought the book was pretty good; had some great images.
But it’s The Great American Novel? I hope not.
Our 20th century culture was hijacked by the left long ago. Every time I read a review of art, music, movies or literature I resent the way they impose their morally and intellectually bankrupt opinions on the rest of us.
What intelligent person wants to look into the sick mind of abstract artists? Who likes atonal music? And before I take the word of ANYBODY on whether to spend my valuable time reading a book I want to know the hidden agenda of the reviewer.
Among the “goals of communism” printed in the Congressional Record of January 10, 1963 are these sad lines:
“Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
“Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression.
“Control art critics and directors of art museums. Our plan is to promote ugliness and repulsive, meaningless art.
“Eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.
“Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.”
