Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"'Respect all surfaces,' Elder Olson once wrote, 'the skater is safe until his superficiality fails.' Feiler certainly plays it safe in this, his second and less successful excursus into pop anthropology (the first was Learning to Bow; Inside the Heart of Japan), But superficiality alone doesn't explain why it falls so far short of its predecessor. More to the point are Feiler's refusal to integrate the quaint details of Oxbridge life, and the trivialization that results from so much scatter, however humorously presented. For deeper, more coherent—and thus wittier—insight, the reader is advised to read (and reread) How to be Oxbridge." Reviewed by Daniel Weiss, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
