"Fashionable Nonsense," though juicy in its own way, is not quite so titillating as the Starr report.

Fashionable Nonsense examines two related topics:
Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals' Abuse of Science.
Sokal followed up by co-authoring the book Impostures Intellectuelles with Jean Bricmont in 1997 (published in English, a year later, as Fashionable Nonsense).
