Riassunto

Robert Hughes once described Michael Sorkin as “unique in America––brave, principled, highly informed and fiercely funny.” All Over the Map confirms all of these superlatives as Sorkin assaults “the national security city, with its architecture of manufactured fear.”

Easily one of the best architecture critics around ... Sorkin is a flaneur with a sense of public purpose. --Chris Hall, Guardian

America's most invigorating writer on architecture. --Observer

Sorkin is a formidable opponent of the banal, the ugly, the stupid and the vapidly posturing which, he argues, are all around us. --Publishers Weekly
