Doom Patrols by Steven Shaviro

Doom Patrols by Steven Shaviro

Doom Patrols is a madcap rollercoaster ride through the bizarre landscapes of late 20th century culture. Considering topics as diverse Elvis worship, the erotics of cyberspace, fantasies of the millennium, multiple personality syndrome, and the molecular logic of insect DNA and ranging from William Burroughs to Dean Martin, from Michel Foucault to My Bloody Valentine, from Andy Warhol to Bill Gates, the essays in this collection take an idiosyncratic look at the forces transforming world culture.

?Shaviro proves himself an able entertainer as well as an able theoristPart con artist, part magician, Shaviro offers up an able and varied performance? Rain Taxi ?At his best (investigating the lack of Dean Martin impersonators) Shaviro is almost as amusing as Barthes? Scotland on Sunday

Steven Shaviro teaches literature and film at the University of Washington, he is the author of Passion and Excess and The Cinematic Body.
