Book Reviews of The Norman Podhoretz Reader: A Selection of His Writings from the 1950s through the 1990s

Book Review: Obscurantism
Summary: 3 Stars

I've never heard of this guy nor read his works, but in certain circles he is revered, perhaps because he switched sides.

At best obscurantism; at worse literary criticism of the kind that engineers loath--that's why engineers hate the humanities.

But again, I've not read Podhoretz.
