Description: "Is everything possible and nothing true? According to Roger Kimball, this belief, with its "mixture of gullibility and cynicism," characterizes much of our modern culture. Thus his new collection of essays, Experiments Against Reality, is "largely a chronicle of spiritual disillusionment." No one who is seriously concerned with the fate of out culture can afford to ignore it."--BOOK JACKET.
