Product Description
Review
In his trenchantly written polemic, Debray scorns the tone of elegaic mawkishness in accounts of Venice by the likes of Proust and Morand. His excoriating little pamphlet is a corrective to our self-consciously poetic vapourings about Venice --Ian Thomson - The Sunday Times
He can write brilliantly. Debray's mischievous polemic denounces not only the modern tourist but the so-called sophisticate for swooning over a Venice that is little more than a narcissistic reflection of the viewer's own pretensions. Debray is funny, hugely intelligent, immensely quotable and possibly quite insincere --Nicholas Lezard - The Guardian
Debray's diatribe is witty and elegant ... he fires off his fusillades with great panache, and I relish his unbuttoned aplomb --Richard Cork - Modern Painters
Product Description
This title is a counterblast to the slightly hyperventilating cultural consumerism of Parisien intellectuals; who regard Venice as the city where existentialism should be experienced. Debray criticises this world in a refreshing way luring the traveller back to this seductive city.
