Reviews
Fredric Jameson is America's leading Marxist critic. A prodigiously energetic thinker whose writings sweep majestically from Sophocles to science fiction. - Terry Eagleton Probably the most important cultural critic writing in English today ... It can be truly said that nothing cultural is alien to him. - Colin MacCabe For anybody hoping to understand not just the cultural but the political and social implications of postmodernism ... Jameson's book is a fundamental, nonpareil text. - Sunday Times (in praise of Postmodernism) The scope and profundity of Postmodernism, covering theory, architecture, film, video and economics, is truly staggering ... Brilliant. - Independent (in praise of Postmodernism)
