“In all my years of reading, only once before have I had this kind of positive immediate reaction. I kept wondering, ‘How can SuÁrez possibly know so much, keep all his material straight, write about it with such flair, dig up so many corpses, and say something new about The Waste Land that makes it a less odious poem?’ A book of encyclopedic proportions, Pop Modernism is brilliant, and will set a new path for Modernist Studies.”--Paula Rabinowitz, author of Black & White & Noir: America’s Pulp Modernism
