I love those Coen brothers, and Barton Fink does have a lot of that Coen magic, but this is a lesser work - maybe writers really shouldn't try to write about writing.
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.
