Summary: From my textbook to my favorite read.
Comment: This was one of my assigned texts for an English class I took. At the time I didn't even know what Postmodernism was, but this book changed all that and more. Now I love Postmodernism and have bought and read many of the books from which this collection has exerpts from. From Postmodern theory to classic postmodern stories, this book kept me interested through it all. I love this book and have reread it for fun many times.

Summary: Good material but it does not always work
Comment: While there are tons of anthologies on Postmodernism in many socio-political-philosophical and critical forms, few seem to focus on the actual literature. This anthology is a step towards fixing this problem. It contains almost every major author and is organized as well as can be expected given the lack of form that postmodernism seems to engender. However, there is a major flaw to this work. It contains mostly excerts from larger works. This makes reading the thing uninspiring. It gives one a good idea about what books one should read to understand postmodernism but I do not think it really contributes much in itself. Having said that, I should say that the Introduction and organizing chapters are much stronger than what one normally finds in an anthology. Also the section on Postmodern theory is much stronger than the fiction sections.

Summary: A Text Book On Arts and Culture
Comment: This book with it's lucid chapter introductions offers an anthology which could be useful as a textbook for a class on arts and culture in America in the second half of the 20th Century.
Also, it is a good read, a nice collection of literature.
