Summary: Good, but difficult
Comment: This book is a compilation of a number of works from Edward Said's career. It contains excerpts on subjects such as literary criticism, orientalism and the Palestine-Israel "problem." He does a good job at engaging those "critics" that came before him, and either disagreeing or continuing where they left off. His writing style is more like that of a philosopher than a literary critic. This book is not an easy read, and having a background in other philosophical readings is a must. While the book does not explore any one topic deeply, for those readers looking to find Said's opinions and arguments on a number of different subjects it is a good read.

Summary: The Edward Said Reader
Comment: Edward Said, the renowned literary & cultural critic & passionately engaged intellectual, is one of our era's most formidable, provocative, & important thinkers. For more than three decades, his books, which include Culture & Imperialism, Peace & Its Discontents, & the seminal study Orientalism, have influenced not only our worldview but the very terms of public discourse. The Edward Said Reader includes key sections from all of Said's books, from the ground-breaking 1966 study of Joseph Conrad to his new memoir, Out of Place. Whether he is writing of Zionism or Palestinian self-determination, Jane Austen or Yeats, music or the media, Said's uncompromising intelligence casts urgent light on every subject he undertakes. The Edward Said Reader will prove a joy to the general reader & an indispensable resource for scholars of politics, history, literature, & cultural studies: in short, of all those fields that his work has influenced and, in many cases, transformed. "Said is a brilliant & unique amalgam of scholar, aesthete & political activist.... [He] challenges & stimulates our thinking in every area." --Washington Post Book World. "No one studying the relations between the metropolitan West & the decolonizing world can ignore Mr. Said's work
