More Info
Andre Aciman compels with a unique and reflective voice such that False Papers is more than a book. It is a soul that at first embraces, and finally engulfs, so that when the reader finally sets the book down, he will be shocked to learn that he is only himself, and not the sojouring spirit on the page.
From Amazon.com
I found Mr.Aciman's essays suffering from a infatuation with his own self-righteousness. Preachy, bigoted and too often innacurate, he bakes a quite dull mixture of bloated prose and shallow, prejuciced view about many subjects one suspects he knows little or nothing about. The books distils the grandiose retorique of cocktail-party chatter and leaves the reader with a sad sense of having wasted his own time. My advice would be to seriously check it out at a public library before devoting time and money to this thing. Life's too short for this kind of drivel.
