Summary: Decent, though seemingly embittered
Comment: Speaking as a polymodal synesthete with eidetic memory, I found this work interesting (in terms of tracing synesthesia in art and literature from Baudelaire and the Romantics to Nabokov and the present day), but with an infused tonality of bitterness (lacking in empathic/human quality). After a certain point, it becomes clear that the author is biased toward a focus on the meaninglessness of these modes of perception, discounting them as relevant thought processes. Another view from the "outside", providing yet more separation between the synesthete and the non-synesthete... but I'm certain my opinion could be deconstructed by the views presented in this book. Recommended for historical content, and very basic information. Ignore the sweeping generalizations.
