"""Gunn has crafted an exceptionally fine book exploring discourse that hides, disguises, and occludes. He shows how central such discourse is in the world we live in. The book's linkage of 19th century occult texts with the impenetrable books of today's fashionable postmodern gurus is especially valuable. Scholars across the academy will find that the book is indispensable."" - Barry Brummett, author of Rhetorical Dimensions of Popular Culture"""
