Rants and Incendiary Tracts: Voices of Desperate Illuminations : 1558-Present by Adam Parfrey, Bob Black, Bob Black
3.0
It's a book of rants from people with POVs about shit. Could be the government, the crappiness of people, women going to the theatre, old time-y outrage about the king or something. It varies. The rants are short and go chronologically starting with 1500s. I'm gonna say the first quarter of this book was impenetrable to me. Either I've destroyed my cognitive function beyond repair with Pinot Grigio or I was just not that smart to begin with but I just glazed over reading about half of these things. But the rest of them were either funny, interesting or at least understandable. Some even called for the highlighter in a few spots. Anton La Vey's Misanthropia or the comic strip one were probably my faves. The Celine one let me know why people are iffy about Celine. All of entries have a fun, sometimes snarky intro from one of the editors.
