Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Alter operates under the common western assumption that if it is aesthetically pleasing it cannot be true, and if it is true it cannot be beautiful. I am an artist, and as an artist I have the responsibility not only to entertain, but also to tell the truth. These aims are not incompatible. Alter is quite honest about his aim of blunting any doctrinal content in order to make the aesthetic effect better. When reading this translation one thing becomes very clear. When read as mere invention it is considerably less profound aesthetically. I will ask you one question to think about. If we assume, in order to make Picasso's Guernica a better painting that the event never happened, does this make the painting a better painting?
