Recensioner i media

“This book was very well written, and Chiasson went above and beyond to explain to readers how Pinter’s later works used both affect and aesthetics to convey their messages. … this book would be important to anyone who wants to study politics, poetics, rhetoric, and the media. This could be a particularly good book for a class that is studying media and politics.” (Katy Johnson, CBQ Communication Booknotes Quarterly, Vol. 49 (2), 2018)
