Theodor Adorno is widely recognized as one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century, as a foremost cultural critic and philosopher, and one of the most important figures in the Frankfurt School and Western Marxism more generally. And yet, Adorno's reputation has suffered from accusations about his alleged pessimism and, even worse, from attempts but postmodernists to recruit him to their war against all 'grand narratives', including, most importantly, Marxism itself. In this work Frederic Jameson rescues Adorno from the claws of his critics and the clutches of his false friends. Jameson sees Adorno as not only a thinker whose contribution to Marxism was unique and indispensable, but also as the theorist of late capitalism. Late Marxism introduces Adorno's thought to a new generation of dissidents and demonstrates the freshness and relevance of dialectical thinking to criticism and resistance today.

Other downsides are a general vagueness which is probably inevitable given Jameson's Jamesian prose style; a too-swift examination of Negative Dialectics with a lot of chat about the aesthetics; and a fatuously 'hip' recourse to Althusser and the concept of hegemony as a corrective to Adorno's theory of ideology. This last is only necessary because Jameson doesn't understand Hegel at all, and fails to see how important the German Idealists were for Adorno's work.
That said, it's really not bad, and gets the general point right: Adorno's obsession with totality and so forth must be separated from an affirmation of totality and almost every other concept he uses, and we would do well to remember that. ( )
