THE WORLD ACCORDING TO STAR WARS

Narrator Kaleo Griffith takes a conversational approach to this unusual book by a legal scholar and former Obama administration official. The author analyzes various themes of the Star Wars oeuvres, particularly father-son relationships and other familial patterns. Due to Griffith's friendly manner, one imagines Sunstein sitting across the table in a quiet café, chatting about what is clearly a favorite of his among today's great cultural phenomena. There is some deep thinking here, and not for fans only. Still, a snippet of the iconic music would have provided additional delight. D.R.W. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2016]
