“Here, adrift in a phenomenology and cultural analysis of late capitalism we find ourselves, voyeurs all, products of the cinematic gaze.  Our challenge is clear.  Begin to write, and live our own pedagogical versions of postmodernism, making our own playful ‘mystories’ of this bewildering, frightening, terrifying, exhilarating historical moment.  ...Theorists of postmodernism are storytellers.  ...Our most powerful effects as storytellers come when we expose the cultural plot and the cultural practices that guide our writing hands.”
