Review
"'Thank you to Elaine Scarry for her wonderful essay On Beauty and Being Just, from which I borrowed a title, a chapter heading and a good deal of inspiration' Zadie Smith, On Beauty 'With exemplary clarity, Elaine Scarry argues that admiring the beautiful is nothing to be ashamed of; that on the contrary beauty fosters the spirit of justice. A brave and timely book' J. M. Coetzee"
