Adorno on Popular Culture Summary

Adorno on Popular Culture by Robert W. Witkin

Great introduction to a notoriously difficult thinker who most students of sociology and cultural studies have to grapple with at some point

Witkin's Adorno on Music was well received and sold very well for a book on a quite specialised niche of Adorno's work- this more general book has considerably more potential

Adorno on Popular Culture Reviews

'a highly misanthropic but very funny and true analysis of the power and effect of the mass media' Alain de Botton, Telegraph
