About this title

Review:

?As in his previous work, Goffman reveals in this book a startling observational acuity and a highly developed skill in descriptive analysis....Goffman effectively extends his argument in favor of a diagnosis of deviant behavior which takes account of the whole social situation.?-American Academy of Political and Social Science.
