Book summary





Media reviews


"Intellectuals of the upper middle class are vulnerable to romanticizing 'criminal elements' because of course they are unacquainted with them, and we tend to romanticize things that are strange to us. No doubt the myserious phenomenon of 'liberal guilt' is operant. To me, 'In the Belly of the Beast' was more a literary book than an authentic book--it showed he'd read a lot of Genet and other writers."
