The author of this biography of Bunuel spent time in Paris and Mexico to interview people who worked with the director and family and friends, including Catherine Deneuve, Jeanne Moreau and Bunuel's sons. Luis Bunuel was a surrealist who worked with great figures of the movement but was influenced little by them, a man of ascetic habits who was also a 50-year alcoholic, an eroticist but one with little physical interest in women, and an anarchist who carried a bow-tie in his pocket so as to be properly attired for formal occassions.

Review:

'I find the greatest contribution of the volume to be in Kozinets’ model for blending (online) netnography with (offline) ethnography...While the entire netnographic approach will appeal to Internet specialists, this ‘blending’ aspect may attract a wider audience of

anthropologists who are already familiar with, and engaging in, traditional ethnography'
- Francine Barone, Journal of the Anthropological Society of Oxford-online

'A definite must for anyone interested in understanding or conducting "netnography"' -
The Qualitative Report

'Netnography: Doing Ethnographic Research Online is a methodological handbook aimed at...anyone who is interested in researching online communities and cultures, and other forms of online social behavior... Using interesting examples from his own research work, the author brilliantly transfers his experience and expertise to the reader' -
Eva Brajkovi�c
University of Primorska (Slovenia)

'Kozinets’ call for respect, patience and researcher accountability is

matched by personal, anecdotal examples that establish a good ethical tone throughout the text. Illustrative case studies of first-hand fieldwork experiences present readable and engaging vignettes to the student reader that reveal in clear terms how key ethnographic

moments ... have analogous forms in netnography, including the intricate process of becoming a community member by respectfully building relationships slowly over time'
-Francine Barone
