That's a bit better. It's always interesting to read criticism of old Terry - generally one finds an attempt to erase him altogether, mainly for reasons of job security I think - yet he's so popular with us thick people! Interesting also, the way you skate over the principle point of the book which is to ask whether we might actually need a new Grand Narrative ( a good one this time hopefully!) - you know, a basic consensus, rather than a celebration of atomisation.

I must say, however, it's very pleasureable to see some dissing of Zizek for once. Oh he's soooo 1985!

I'm not sure where you see such an argument (hardly an original one, at that) in this book. Especially if Eagleton is content to merely sweep folks like Kristeva under the rug.

Clear as they are, there’s no doubt many of Eagleton’s arguments will fall on deaf ears in any case.

Clear and sloppy.

Eagleton on Derrida can be more favourable when he drops the sarc, although I don't think he always hits it on the head. See his obit http://www.guardian.co.uk/ commen...1327834,00.html and his review of Specters of Marx if you can find it, which is, if nothing else, sympathetic.
