I'd be curious to know your background such that The Romantic Manifesto was an "easy" read. It was not easy for me.

As for the difficulty of that book, the topic is one of the widest possible integrations in that she explains the psychological purpose of art, something I don't think anyone has ever done before. She connects the nature of concepts and abstractions to the nature of consciousness (finite) and the psychological (motivational) need to concretize our widest philosophic beliefs. It is truly an historic achievement.

I will contact you privately.
