This collection of essays contains some of the most important pieces of criticism of the twentieth century, including the classics ''The Aesthetics of Silence'', a brilliant account of language, thought and consciousness, and ''Trip to Hanoi'', written during the Vietnam War.

Here too is an excoriating account of America''s identity and future, a robust and surprising discussion of pornography and other richly rewarding writings on art, film, literature and politics.
