although I'd rank it as a minor entry in the Coen bros pantheon, it's still a knee slappin head scratchin romp through the dark subconscious of the American psyche, with a very realistic window into american judiasm as a bonus.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
