Canaries in the Mineshaft Essays on Ploitics and Media

"Adler's ideas about contemporary journalism and culture are far too elegant and complex to be explored in one book review, which might explain why Adler has not managed to cultivate her own cult of personality the way so many commentators have: one must actually have read her work, and the work is demanding enough to test the mettle even of willing devotees. Canaries in the Mineshaft is not the sort of book to be read at night, in bed: it agitates and it demands far too much. Rather, it's a book to be read the next morning, before tackling that day's newspaper. It will make the truth seem, suddenly, sadly, a very complicated thing indeed.Adler, Renata is the author of 'Canaries in the Mineshaft Essays on Ploitics and Media', published 2001 under ISBN 9780312275204 and ISBN 031227520X.
