Rezension zu „Matthews, G: Ethics and Desire in the Wake of Postmodernism “
'Ethics and Desire in the Wake of Postmodernism offers a rare combination of theoretical agility, and concentrated close reading of literary fiction. It is at once a fresh and exciting reading of six major contemporary novelists, and a reappraisal of the critical contexts within which they have been understood. In reading contemporary literature and theory together, this is an important intervention into ongoing debates about postmodernism and its afterlives.' -- Professor Peter Boxall, University of Sussex, UK 'Graham Matthew's terrific book analyses some of the most provocative and influential works of satirical fiction from the nineties and the noughties alongside recent developments in theory. With considerable skill and elan, Matthews brings together, for example, J. G. Ballard with Hardt and Negri on middle class revolution and the multitude, Will Self and Alain Badiou on the ethics of the event, Michel Houellebecq and Slavoj eiuek on the global politics of enjoyment in order to develop a new literary critical practice for the twenty-first century. It is essential reading for followers of contemporary theory and fiction.' -- Profesor Scott Wilson, Kingston University, UK
