A book on the devil written by the witty Romanian-American poet and NPR commentator, how could I go wrong? But, alas, this collection of essays only bored me. Could it be that I am finally tired of Mr. Codrescu's wry wit... I hope, rather, that The Devil Never Sleeps just wasn't his best work. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Thankfully for us, he hasn't. In The Devil Never Sleeps, one of America's shrewdest social critics sets out to uncover the Devil's most modern and insidiously banal incarnations. Once easily recognizable by his horns, tail, and propensity for plague, today's Devil has become embedded in every fiber of our culture. Discussing everything from rock 'n' roll to William Burroughs to New Orleans bars to the Demon of Prosperity, Codrescu mockingly unmasks Old Nick as the opportunistic technocrat he really is. Embracing cell phones, cable access, and cyberspace, the ubiquitous Devil of secular culture embodies the true evil facing us today - banality."--BOOK JACKET.
