102 reviews"This is one of the best short books of literary criticism that I know." — Journal of Aesthetics & Art Criticism
Wide-ranging enough to encompass Buster Keaton, Charles Babbage, horses, & a man riding a bicycle while wearing a gas mask, The Counterfeiters is one of Hugh Kenner's greatest achievements. In this fascinating work of literary & cultural criticism, Kenner seeks the causes & outcomes of man's ability to simulate himself (a computer that can calculate quicker than we can) & his world (a mechanical duck that acts the same as a living one).This intertangling of art & science, of man & machine, of machine & art is at the heart of this book. He argues that the belief in art as a uniquely human expression is complicated & questioned by the prevalence of simulations—or “counterfeits” —in our culture. Kenner, with his characteristically accessible style and wit, brings together history, literature, science, & art to locate the personal in what is an increasingly counterfeit world.
