Media reviews

Praise for Frederick Brown’s
THE EMBRACE OF UNREASON
 
 
                “Brown is an accomplished and accessible cultural historian.  His eye for the telling anecdote and colorful detail and seeming allergy to academic jargon make him an amiable and trustworthy guide to the dark side of the French psyche…The Embrace of Unreason is a lively and compelling work of cultural history.  Readers will be grateful for Brown’s sure-handed navigation through the thickets of French intellectual reaction…his fluent style and grasp of the period make it a pleasure to explore this unsettling terrain in his company.”
                                                                                -Arthur Goldhammer, Bookforum
