About the Author :
Hans Bertens is Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Utrecht. He has published widely on postmodernism and literary theory, including The Idea of the Postmodern: A History (1995) and Literary Theory: The Basics (2001). Joseph Natoli teaches at the Center for Integrative Studies in the Arts and Humanities at Michigan State University. He has written a cultural history of 1990s America with the volumes Hauntings (1994), Speeding to the Millennium (1998), and Postmodern Journeys (2000), and he is also author of A Primer to Postmodernity (1997).

Review :
"The word 'postmodern' resists precise definition, and a definitive survey of postmodernism would be a contradiction in terms. But this book does the next best thing, giving lucid and comprehensive summaries of the work of a broad range of postmodern artists and thinkers."Steven Shaviro, University of Washington
