title: Death in a Delphi Seminar: A Postmodern Mystery (SUNY series, The Margins of Literature)
author: Norman N. Holland
description: A remarkable murder mystery in which the murder takes place in a graduate seminar on literature and psychology and the mystery is solved by the techniques of reader-response analysis....Hollands novel incorporates the very kind of literary analysis that the author professes, and it introducesas motive, as content, as cluesvarious other contemporary approaches to literary theory.  Theodore Ziolkowski, Princeton University<br /><br />Once I started reading Death in a Delphi Seminar, I had difficulty putting it down. Indeed, it consumed much of a weekend, and when I finished, I wanted more. The book is fascinating, completely accessible even as it deals ingeniously with the most arcane lit crit jargon (what Holland has wittily called elsewhere the language of the New Cryptics), and accurate in its characterization of postmodern theory. Plus it is witty, clever, ironic, allusive, and sophisticated without being pretentious.  Jeffrey Berman
