All stars

Not a bad use of a credit exactly, but the essays as a whole failed to hold my interest completely. "Y" - where he felt empathy for the "alienation" of the violent youths who'd beaten up him and his cameraman (and smashed their equipment) - was about the limit for me, after he'd injected his political views in earlier chapters. Really 2.5 stars overall, your mileage may vary.

A bit political for my taste
