Late Theory Fredric Jameson, or the Persistence of Reading

"Late Theory is a remarkably innovative work of cultural theory. Through a dialectical alchemy, Phillip E. Wegner actively thinks with Fredric Jameson, producing a stronger and more pliant critical substance that illuminates contemporary Marxist cultural theory and extends it into new areas of inquiry. There is probably no one alive today more suited to do this work than Wegner."-Robert T. Tally Jr., author of The Critical Situation: Vexed Perspectives in Postmodern Literary Studies

"Ambitious in scope, original in form, and rigorous in execution, Phillip E. Wegner's Late Theory offers a clear account of Fredric Jameson's work, pairing closely attentive readings of Jameson's texts with Wegner's own more creative interpretations and applications of aspects of the arguments."-Kathi Weeks, author of Abolition Archives, Feminist Futures
