Reviews for Scenarios: Aguirre, the Wrath of God; Every Man for Himself and God Against All; Land of Silence and Darkness; Fitzcarraldo

A compulsively readable, probing collection. It's equal parts challenging and satisfying, infuriating and enlightening. --Publishers Weekly Herzog seems to peer nonstop into the abysm combining vainglory, cruelty, and madness. Those are the coordinates at which Herzog geolocates humanity. --BookForum Scenarios contains more than merely dialogue in cold type. Herzog's screenplays read like novellas--the characters are fully thought-out and the settings are vividly described, albeit in long, medium and close shots. --Shepherd Express
