“Extremely important for everyone interested in issues of (post)modern literature, art, and music.”—Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Stanford University “In this collection of 17 essays, all written or presented between 1980 and 1989, Lyotard addresses a variety of topics related to the transition from modernity to postmodernity. . . . Addressing issues of relevance to art, music, literature, and philosophy, Lyotard’s collection will be of interest to students, scholars, and practitioners in each of these areas as well as to a general readership interested in aesthetic postmodernity and the avante-garde.”—Choice
