"The text is extremely well researched, written and organized,
covering the entirety of Jameson's corpus. The study is also very
lively and polemical, bringing in a wide range of critical
literature to bear on Jameson's thought. There is no such
comparable book on the market which provides such a comprehensive
and engaging study." Douglas Kellner, University of Texas at
Austin

"A lucid and accessible guide to Jameson's work." Radical
