Across the Pond: An Englishman's View of America by Terry Eagleton

4.0

Terry Eagleton has many interesting observations to make on US culture, society and politics. He's often insightful, but his attempt at wit often comes across as forced and heavy handed. It is the unfortunate influence of Slavoj Zizek that otherwise serious thinkers feel the need to make gratuitous pop culture references to appear relevant. Enduring the indiscriminate volleys of witticisms appear the price one has to pay to get to occasional brilliant insights hidden in this book.
