A Waste of Wood Pulp
This book is another example of "scholars" cashing in on popular culture. The back of the book calls the authors "all well-respected scholars," yet many of them are graduate students who have never published before! The book is also full of obivous factual errors that any serious student of the X-Files will recognize immediately. As an X-Files fan and an academic, I am both disappointed and offended by the poor quality of this book. The one part of the book worth reading is the intriguing Lacanian analysis in the last article, but that alone does not begin to justify the publication of the book. The X-Files deserves a serious scholarly examination--this is not it
