I guess Michiko Kakutani didn’t care for Susan Faludi’s recently released THE TERROR DREAM Fear and Fantasy in Post-9/11 America. Here is the first sentence of her New York Times review:
This, sadly, is the sort of tendentious, self-important, sloppily reasoned book that gives feminism a bad name.
She continues later:
These efforts on Ms. Faludi’s part to use the terrorist attacks of 9/11 as an occasion to recycle arguments similar to those she made a decade and a half ago in her best-selling book “Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women” (1991) feel forced, unpersuasive and often utterly baffling.
She finally concludes:
Such errors of logic are typical of this ill-conceived and poorly executed book — a book that stands as one of the more nonsensical volumes yet published about the aftermath of 9/11.
So you didn’t like it?
