Review
`At last, a book which explains clearly what post-modernism means ... Detailed, clever, witty, post-modern analysis of popular culture from a writer equally as fascinated by David Byrne, Biff cartoons, The Face, John Berger, Roland Barthes, Jean Baudrillard and James Brown' - Square Peg
`...for those of us who want to honour Raymond Williams' memory while still, despite ourselves, liking Kylie Minogue, Hiding in the Light is both a stimulating and a comforting read.' - Simon Frith, Media Education Journal
