T.V. Reed is a formidable champion, both theoretically and in the realm of textual or cultural analyses, for the centrality of the referential function of aesthetic postmodernism. His Bloombury Introduction to Postmodern Realist Fiction exemplifies such critical efforts through its masterful and compelling presentation of this unique but less often elucidated or theorized dimension of the postmodern interventionary politics. By the example of his surveys and discussions, Reed shows convincingly why postmodern realist fiction-a mode of aesthetic experimentalism emerging out of the mid-1960s-is a representational instrument ideally suited for engaging the vital concerns of America's late capitalist culture, as well as for legitimizing subaltern struggles, voices, and aspirations. * Jinqi Ling, Professor of English, UCLA, USA *
