"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 truly be said that nothing cultural is alien to him."
–Colin MacCabe "Jameson's chef d'oeuvre,
Postmodernism, Or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism, provides one of the more persuasive cognitive maps we have of the evolution of culture in the West in the period from the mid-twentieth century to the present day. His achievement is all the more notable in that he is by conviction a Marxist, hostile to Anglo-American empiricism, the anti-theoretical theory that reigns supreme today."
–J. M. Coetzee, Australian Book Review
