The management of mediated culture lies at the core of this account, with divergences, asides and footnotes, occasioned with a certain jocularity somehow added to quite horrifying topics; “....an unseemly interest in consumer goods”, said of a looting Soviet soldier. The anecdotes which leaven these accounts successfully record the fleeting thoughts we share, here captured by a retentive and practised commentator of the passing scene. (in Leonardo Digital Reviews)
