    An astute and extremely polite colleague was to review this book. He was "very busy." A second colleague was familiar with Miller's work but found it impossible to understand. She observed that in the past Miller's work had made her feel as though there was something wrong with her, but had more recently begun to suspect that there was a major problem with the way in which Miller communicates his ideas. A third colleague, also familiar with his work, was less charitable. She referred to it as "post-structuralist gobbledygook." As it turned out, the book fell to me. When I told the first colleague some of the difficulties I was having with the book, he admitted he'd given it up because after a quick perusal he couldn't get an angle on it.
