Description
Majorie Garber's essays are wonderful, witty, and provocative pieces of cultural criticism. This collection includes pieces on Jane Austen Syndrome, on forgery, on sequels (think George "Dubya"), on anachronism ("historical correctness"), on gender and language, and one lavishly illustrated essay on the sexual lives of inanimate objects.

Description
Written with characteristic verve, Quotation Marks considers, among other subjects, how we depend upon the most quotable men and women in history, using great writers to bolster what we ourselves have to say. The entertaining turns and reversals of Marjorie Garber's arguments offer the rare pleasure of a true essayist.
