Superficial & Sublime? by Garry Wills | The New York Review of Books

A great bad review; a wonderful and hilarious gem by Wills, but it also evokes terror in the heart of any author.
This book, which was featured on the front page of The New York Times Book Review, comes recommended by some famous Big Thinkers. It is written by well-regarded professors (one of them the chairman of the Harvard philosophy department). This made me rub my eyes with astonishment as I read the book itself, so inept and shallow is it. . . .
