about intellectuals to be joyless and not worth reading. That would not surprise me, as I was finding Sowell's work to be getting tiresome and repetitive as far back as 1995. On the other hand, a review as casually dismissive as Wolfe's makes me wonder what's actually in the book, since it's hardly discussed.

Sowell's Wolfe bane
At TNR, Alan Wolfe finds Thomas Sowell's new bookabout intellectuals to be joyless and not worth reading. That would not surprise me, as I was finding Sowell's work to be getting tiresome and repetitive as far back as 1995. On the other hand, a review as casually dismissive as Wolfe's makes me wonder what's actually in the book, since it's hardly discussed.
