(British Journal of Aesthetics, 1 September 2015) The combination of his well-deserved reputation with the subject matter will ensure that the volume has a widespread appeal, from academic philosophers to students of popular culture and the consumers of mass art. (British Journal of Aesthetics, 1 September 2015) ?Noel Carroll is America?s greatest philosopher of popular art, and Minerva?s Night Out is the definitive collection of his work on the subject. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the interpretation of popular culture.? ?William Irwin, General Editor of The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series ?What is astonishing here is not just the versatility, but the interpretive power, Carroll's ability to find philosophical themes in subjects ranging from Yasmina Reza to Hitchcock to Halloween.? ?Joan Acocella of The New Yorker ?In these probing, subtle, and entertaining reflections on cinema, television, and theatre, Noel Carroll once more proves himself our foremost philosopher of popular art.? ?David Bordwell, University of Wisconsin-Madison Noel Carroll's omnivorous interest in all the arts?fine, popular, mass?always undergirded by sturdy philosophical analysis is on display in this excellent collection. I'm glad to recommend it. ?Ted Cohen, University of Chicago Author InformationNoël Carroll is a Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the CUNY Graduate Center.
