Reviews

“In the spirit of Yeats, his tutelary figure, Daniel T. O'Hara gauges the state of America's imperial anarchy and puts forth an imaginative response, compounded from Foucault, Lacan, and Henry James. This is a defense of literature like no other.”—Jonathan Arac, Columbia University

Empire Burlesque provides a unique perspective on how much the globalism that, properly, should be ‘post-American' is actually another (re)production of America. It is impressive work.”—Patrick O'Donnell, author of Latent Destinies: Cultural Paranoia and Contemporary U.S. Narrative
