1 Peter Carey's Novels : Critique or Ironic Celebration of Consumer Society Shahram R. Sistani , 2006 single work criticism
— Appears in: The Commonwealth Review , vol. 18 no. 2 2006; (p. 169-182) 'This paper investigates the ways in which Peter Carey manifests the corrupt attractiveness of contemporary consumer societies. ... His novels are satires on the comprehensive dreams and visions of twentieth-century corporate capitalism. In Carey's writing we deal with the notion of cultural imperialism. ... Carey's fiction can be considered a critique and at the same time an ironic celebration of consumer hysteria.' (169-170)
