Callinicos's book is pretty good, written in the late-1980s, when
postmodernism was beginning to take a hold of all aspects of culture. Other
obvious choices of books include Frederic Jameson's 'Postmoderism or the
Ideology of Late Capitalism', and his more recent 'Late Marxism: Adorno or
the persistence of the dialectic' and Terry Eagleton's 'The Trouble with
Postmodernism' and 'After Theory'. I have on my shelf, awaiting reading,
Christopher Norris's 'What's Wrong with Postmodernism', 'The Truth about
Postmodernism', also David Harvey's 'The Condition of Postmodernity', all
highly critical but not specifically Marxist, I think.

Solidarity,
Ian
