"I could just cry when I think about all the time I wasted in college. What was I doing? Where was I? My job, essentially, was to read stuff like this. Boggles the mind."
"A collection of Geertz's essays ranging from early work on Balinese religion and ritual to writings on the work of Levi-Strauss. Contains the famous "Balinese Cockfight" essay. Shorter essays and some lengthier ones, mostly excellent, and certainly by one of the most important postwar anthropologists."
