The Exquisite Corpse: Writing on Buildings

Rating:
Summary: A varied collection of insightful criticism
Review: Exquisite Corpse compiles Michael Sorkin's earlier works of criticism, mostly published during his time as architectural critic for The Village Voice (his latter writings were later compiled in "Some Assembly Required"). Sorkin's writing is entertaining and intelligent, and Sorkin's attacks on Philip Johnson, Donald Trump, and former New York Times Architectural Critic Paul Goldberger are particularly amusing. The book is an overall enjoyable read, if one is able to jump between the varied subject matter.
