The Review as Art and Communication

By: Joey Skidmore

£44.99

This book presents the idea that reviews can be substantive essays, an art form with its own "shelf-life." It collects the reviews of scholar Max J. Skidmore, Sr. to illustrate how reviews have a life of their own, evolving beyond the original work.

The Review as Art and Communication not only presents the idea that book reviews, record reviews, theatrical reviews and reviews of any genre can be substantive essays on their own – expounding and elaborating on the concepts and ideas of the original material critiqued – but it also explores the “shelf-life” of the review: the odd phenomenon that just like other forms of art, some stand the test-of-time, and some do not.

This book also collects the book reviews of one scholar: Max J. Skidmore, Sr. into one volume, using his ideas and themes to illustrate how reviews have a life of their own, evolving and developing beyond the original work covered.

Max Joseph “Joey” Skidmore, Jr. has an interdisciplinary background with an MA in Communication Studies and an MFA in Theatre. He teaches classes in a wide variety of subjects including the presidential debates, speech, journalism, sound design for film, fundamentals of communication, English literature, and mass communication. His published work includes articles in the University of Nevada-Las Vegas’ Popular Culture Review, the European Legacy, and six albums of original music including Joey Skidmore on France’s Dixie Frog label, and Ventriloquist Doll on Spain’s Sunthunder Records.

  • “The Review as Art and Communication explodes the false dichotomy between producers and reviewers and the relative value of these communicative roles. The book reviews of Max Skidmore, Sr. in particular demonstrate that, at their best, reviews are critical conversations between intellectuals and necessary to our understanding of culture, power, and policy.”
