Book Reviews of The Year's Work in Lebowski Studies
Book Review: Book for its time and place
Summary: 5 Stars
This latest, academically themed, book concerning the 1998 Coen film The Big Lebowski is the best I've seen since the BFI Film Classics book appeared in 2008 by Tyree and Walters. Based on the underground academic symposium coinciding with the 5th Annual Lebowski Fest in Louisville, KY, this book is full of the best essays and papers submitted at the event. Within the deep and casual thoughts from the authors, you'll find amazing references to both pop and historic culture along with many ins and outs of classical literature and contemporary films. Even though these are mostly just like, their opinions, man, I am sure these far out ideas and hypotheses will blow the jellies right off your feet. This is probably the best cultural study I've seen of a cult film. It's both entertaining to read, like the recent fan-books that have been released in the past few years, yet academically challenging at the same time. Comentale and Jaffe certainly do not disappoint with this long awaited compilation. Personally, I hope they hold another symposium since I was not able to attend the first.
