"Roy Wagner is a one-of-a-kind anthropologist whose books provide
intense intellectual stimulation. His way of connecting the world
of New Guinea to the world of anthropology is unique and, well,
mind-blowing. . . . He writes books that you actually want to and
will read more than once."--Steven Feld, author of "Sound and
Sentiment"
"Wagner asks, daringly, what it would be like to imagine one of
the most significant of human activities, the activity of
description or representation, as a self-scaling phenomenon. . . .
One begins to glimpse a genuine 'alternative
anthropology.'"--Marilyn Strathern, author of "The Gender of the
Gift"
