Here’s another book review. The subject, this time, is Seinfeld, Master of Its Domain: Revisiting Television’s Greatest Sitcom, edited by David Lavery and Sara Lewis Dunne of Middle Tennessee State University.
The review appears in the National Post, and was written by Robert Fulford.
Here’s an excerpt of the column to set the tone:
But this latest book notably differs in tone from standard university products. Appreciation and enjoyment, combined with wonder at the cleverness of the program’s writers, set the tone. The platoon of scholars writing the essays understand Seinfeld as brilliant popular art, not merely a specimen demanding intellectual dissection. This means we can admire their insights without giving up our love for the best television farce we’ll ever see.
Enjoy ;-)
