Summary: Hmmm
Comment: I read this book in a graduate seminar. As I read it, I kept looking
for main themes, big ideas, cohesive arguments, and clarity. Boy, did
I feel like I was reading the wrong book. I thought that I was
missing something, but when I went to class, none of the seven other
advanced-level doctoral students had anything to say about this book
either. In discussion, I found that the reason why no one had
anything to say about this book was related to our perceptions that
the book displayed a relative absence of main themes, big ideas,
cohesive arguments, and clarity. All of the students thought that we
were all a few watts short of firing up the light bulbs that day, so
we found other things to talk about in class. In the last fifteen
minutes, the professor said, "Well, we really do need to discuss
the book." No one said anything, but we had a good time doodling
in our notebooks. She then asked, "Could anyone say what this
book is about?" I stared blankly at the ship that I was drawing
in my notebook. No one else looked at her. She then concluded the
class by saying that she didn't know what this book was about either.
I still don't quite know why she assigned it, but she said that the
idea of mapping communications might be more useful than analyzing
culture.
