don't judge a book by its cover

Yes, the binding is cheap, and the price is exorbitant. Yes, the publisher ought to be ashamed. But the content of Simone Weil's notebooks far outweigh the slipshod production. Weil remains one of the greatest interwar thinkers, with a brilliant mind, and a saint-like intensity for the pursuit of truth, beauty and kenotic love. The works of Levinas, Agamben, Canada's George Parkin Grant and a host of other postwar thinkers, French or otherwise, would be unthinkable without Weil. As such, this book deserves more than the one star given by an earlier reviewer. I give it five stars just to even out the overall average.
