This book of essays is like a Pink Floyd or Radiohead album, in that although threads of the subjects of music and language connect them, each of the pieces is distinct. One can find everything from fiction, to philosophy, to literary theory here. The interplay of popular culture references with concentrations of critical analyses will reward both superficial and continued, deeper readings.
A brief though intense treatise, The Metaphysics of Stupidity roots the intellectual pursuit of what it means to be stupid deep in layers of metaphysical analysis. Over the course, Timothy Donavan Russell mixes the personal with the universal in ways that entertain and defy the conventions of both memoir and philosophy. Using subjects ranging from drug addiction to routine infant circumcision, this book brings the dark subject of stupidity to light and exposes it as nothing less than a necessary and fundamental aspect of being human.
