| Synopsis: |
Michael Sprinker's was a singular voice within the chorus of those speaking for Marxist theory and socialist activism: intellectually disciplined, acerbically humorous and, above all, intransigently revolutionary.This volume gathers together some of Sprinker's best work: his recent writings, such as "The Grand Hotel Abyss", on Marxist revolutionary aesthetics; the essays like "You've Got a Lot of Nerve" which raise urgent questions about what activist responsibilities should be shouldered by those claiming to be politically radical intellectuals; his sensitive and diligent readings of exemplary Third- and First-World texts, such as those on Said, Ahmad and Jameson; and finally a section which depicts the course of his own intellectual-political journey. The book closes with a brief collection of his correspondence, witness to the righteous savagery, insight and extraordinary generosity displayed so often in the letters which were central to his friendships and his life.With a preface by Aijaz Ahmad and an afterward by Fred Pfeil, A Singular Voice is a memorial to a luminous figure on the US Left who leaves an inspiring example to all those who come remain. |
