Recenzje

"Nicholas Zurbrugg is a superb guide to that confusing adventure-playground called postmodernism. Critical Vices reveals all Professor Zurbrugg's critical virtues at their best, in a witty, lucid and always accessible prose. Highly recommended." -- J.G. Ballard
"Zurbrugg is an informed and intelligent critic; he is as knowledgeable about the theorists he criticizes as he is about the artists and poets he chooses to celebrate, and he brings considerable intellectual flair to his arguments." -- Art Monthly
