The book came on time (before college started) and it was in lovely condition :)

Intelligent and Poignant

This book is a great overview and as noted by many others, a true work of literary genius. Colonial subjects, such as Said himself, have a hard time placing themselves in the mess of Colonialism and the supposed Post-Colonial era we live in and this book aids in that coming to terms process. Said manages to marry the subjectivity of his reality with the brilliant grasp of academia. A Must read by all, to gain a better idea of the world and times we live in.

The noted critic and a Palestinian now teaching at Columbia University,examines the way in which the West observes the Arabs.
