Recenzii
The essays often return to the same quotations and ideas, illuminating Waldens darker, more obscure passages from various philosophical and theoretical perspectives thought experiments that read like a thick layering of superimposed snapshots that Ray has taken from different angles of Waldens pages....Rays collection of readings never resolve themselves into a single argument, always teetering on the brink of explanation. Yet its evasive technique may be Walden x 40s greatest charm, pointing the reader back to Walden itself so that she might engage in her own interrogations. - Alexander Manglis, Times Literary Supplement, July 27th 2012
