A review by nomadjg
Postmodernism by Christopher Butler

2.0

I have already noticed that Butler is skeptical about the value of postmodernism. He appears to loathe Derrida. He's an odd choice for an introductory book. I chose to read it because I was looking for some ideas to share with my students. His disgust with postmodernism might be rhetorically inviting to some. By the way, I also think it is hilarious that this book isn't all that short.

Many examples he provided are quite useful.
