I must get hold of this new book, which "The Australian" reviews under this title:
"Pomo demolished by a blow from left field"
"
The Trouble with Theory, therefore, is not a politically conservative book, and herein lies its strength. Eschewing the usual wild right hooks in favour of a few well-aimed left jabs, Kitching has knocked postmodernism on its arse where most have only rocked it back on its heels."
So this is not a confrontational text from the Right, but from an intelligent thinker on the Left, apparently sick and tired of the embarrassment of being associated with such pathetic and destructive nonsense.
