“Fredric Jameson may well be the greatest intellectual produced by
the United States in the last half century. It is difficult to
think of anyone else who has made as many, as lasting, and as wide-
ranging contributions as Jameson. . . . The present collection of
interviews from 1981 to the present, then, stands as a welcome
commentary on Jameson’s vast work and an important reflection of
the changes in American intellectual life in the period from the
last days of the Cold War to the end of the second Bush
administration.”
*Intertexts*
“Jameson . . . well known for the amazing variety of subjects he
discusses. The many readers who find his style hard to grasp will
find considerable help in this collection. . . . The book makes his
key concepts accessible. . . . Recommended for literary and
cultural criticism collections.”
