Alexander D. KnyshRezensionen

Curse you, Princeton University Press marketing department! Knysh has written a history of Sufism; unfortunately, it is not this book, which is quite consciously a history of discourse about Sufism. As that sentence suggests, it's a real slog, and would have benefited by not being forced into an unnatural, monographic form. This is a series of potentially interesting essays, none of which are given the time they need to breathe. For experts only, I would guess, and I am no expert.
