This book delves into the intricate aesthetics of Adorno, unveiling hidden facets of his thought. Farina presents a novel literary approach, viewing Adorno's aesthetics as a comprehensive literary theory of art. Through this lens, she demonstrates the effectiveness of Adorno's aesthetics in understanding the most advanced trends in contemporary literature. Consequently, this book presents a holistic and satisfying portrayal of Adorno's aesthetics as a robust philosophy of literature capable of standing its ground in the contemporary aesthetic discourse.
Challenging the prevailing notion that categorizes Adorno's thought, particularly his aesthetics, as 'modernist,' Farina argues that Adorno's philosophy of literature holds its value precisely in its application to and comprehension of postmodern literature, such as the works of Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, and David Foster Wallace. With precision and compelling arguments, this book offers a fresh perspective on Adorno's theory of art, serving as an invaluable resource for scholars exploring the interplay between classical critical theory and contemporary art.
