I started reading a library copy, and decided I had to get it so i could mark it up. McHale is very clear on his project, and has a well-thought-through idea of what postmodernist literature is as compared to modern literature. He also goes well getting into postmodern cultural thinking. I liked the way he used and talked about authors who used the concept of a heterotopia. McHale is a very agile thinker and brings many considerations to bear in his study.

Here are some thoughts I had while wrestling with this book:
"Of course it happened. Of course it didn't happen."
Where's my dictionary?
This is brilliant / this is bollocks.
What?
"Nothing will come of nothing. Speak again."
Why didn't I take French in high school?
So, the sword of Damocles is replaced by the nuclear bomb over the movie theatre, right?
Where is Hunter Thompson when I need him?
Now that I've read this, can I please, please, please return to reading novels?
This is why academics a.k.a. dramaturgs should never direct Shakespeare plays.
Professor McHale, if he hasn't already done so, might want to partake in a stiff whiskey or two...or twelve.
"Dying is easy, comedy is hard."… (més)
