Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Burnham’s smart, loud, and hedonistic tour of Fredric Jameson’s writings is full of surprises and new perspectives—not just on Jameson’s work but on theory, politics, and culture more generally. Self-described ‘brutalist,’ Burnham’s almost breathless way of approaching his topics is entertainingly original. He ends with a challenging ‘synoptic’ version of Jameson’s work that will affect not only readers of Jameson’s work, but anyone interested in the politics of cultural forms in the era of ‘late capitalism.’"—Paul Smith, Carnegie Mellon University
"Clint Burnham gives Jameson’s career a fantastic and impious and appealing new life. The Jamesonian Unconscious is a young, lively, street-wise, culturally cool reappropriation of a tradition of thought often associated with graying white male modernists. It has something of that elusive style I’ve heard personified, wistfully, as ‘Camille Paglia of the left.’ People will remember it when nine-tenths of the scholarly books published are just titles in a library catalog."—Bruce Robbins, Rutgers University
