Review of 'Screened out' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Meh. Baudrillard is smart, but these essays are entirely too long-winded. They follow a template of wry comment about contemporary (mid-1990s) society, then a metaphor (very often involving HIV), then belaboring the metaphor.

I don't regret reading it (and found myself highlighting many quotable passages), but cannot recommend it, either.
