Editorial Reviews

"In this postmodern world of universal knowingness and boredom, we need someone brave enough, and sharp enough, to raise the good old questionsand some new ones, too. Curtis White is here to do that tricky job. A set of dazzling riffs on literature, theory, cultural politics and mass commercialism, Monstrous Possibility is, the very finest sense, refreshing." --Mark Crispin Miller, author of Boxed In: The Culture of TV
