I give this book four stars only because William Kentridge is so painfully obviously smarter than I am. How ironic to have a subheading called 'A Safe Place For Stupidity' when I felt very stupid for the majority of the book. That said, when I properly could focus and pay attention to the ideas, they were all fascinating and unique observations built up from a good range of sources. The lectures all connect so it feels like a cohesive journey from the beginning to the end. The book itself was just beautiful, with the text itself being well designed, as well as tons of images of Kentridge's own work. I was only sad I hadn't been in attendance at any of the actual lectures.
