Ben Parker's review in Politics / Letters says:
"Konstantinou’s book purposes both to historicize and to cure this agitated quietude, to provide 'a historical sense of the changing political fortunes of countercultural irony, a sense of why irony took on and lost political significance in the twentieth and now the twenty-first centuries' (288)."
In Salon, Konstantinou published an article titled "We had to get beyond irony: How David Foster Wallace, Dave Eggers and a new generation of believers changed fiction."Click here to read.
