 Jeet Heer, "Hugh Kenner, RIP"
Kenner was never willing to write off contemporary culture as something beyond understanding and he soon found a mentor who shared his hope of finding an underlying order beneath the surface chaos of modern life and literature.
The characteristic Kenner touches are all present: the vigorous syntax and rich diction, the confident leaping through time and space, the unexpected juxtapositions (the steam shovel with Coolidge), the linkage between technology and culture, and even a slight hint of his religious convictions.
Kenner's genius was always in doing the unexpected: showing that Pound's poetry illustrated the principles of fractal math, arguing that Alexander Pope anticipated the techniques of Pop Art, demonstrating that Bugs Bunny cartoons gained their speed and energy from tight-fisted economic policies at the Warner Brothers Studio.

 Death of a Polymath - Hugh Kenner's passing marks the end of an era. By Jeet Heer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Kenner's Geodesic Math and How To Use It (1976) has recently been reissued by the University of California Press, after many years of being the most requested out-of-print book in their catalog.
Conservatives often bemoan the passing of the good times, and Kenner's death easily lends itself to an elegiac tone: Despite the fact that "interdisciplinary" is an academic buzzword, it's hard to imagine scholars of Kenner's range emerging again.
But this type of nostalgic bewailing is totally at odds with the spirit of Kenner's own work: He always took an interest in new cultural developments and never fell into the trap of believing he lived in the end-all of times.

By 1984, however, the situation had changed-- people within Kenner were being saddled with the disheartening job of dismantling thousands of new Falcons, which had just come in off the production line.
It was that year that saw the debut of The Empire Strikes Back, and Kenner slightly modified their Falcon package, replacing the Star Wars logo with the new ESB version.
