Reviews
'The most striking aspect of Crosthwaite's latest monograph is the delicate balancing of complex interpretations of the relationship between fiction and the market ... The result of Crosthwaite's success in negotiating this balance is that Market Logics is an attractive and engaging read for both newcomers to the economic humanities and experts alike ... As a whole, Market Logics appeals to both ends of the academic spectrum, and excels in providing rigorous criticism ... without excluding newer scholars from its argumentative process.' Amy Bride, U.S. Studies Online, '... an innovative contribution to an increasingly vibrant field of research ... It must be one of the study's most impressive aspects that it brings together such a wide array of influences, and with such apparent ease, not only describing but ultimately practicing the meaning of transdisciplinary inquiry.' Caroline Koegler, C21 Literature: Journal of Twenty-First-Century Writings, 'Paul Crosthwaite engages deeply and thoughtfully with the fields of economics and economic history to produce a study that is genuinely interdisciplinary in scope. The book reconfigures economic concepts as formal strategies to great effect, generating highly original pairings and readings that are both insightful and persuasive. The book is superbly polished in its execution and a pleasure to read.' Janice Ho, University of Colorado, '... ambitious, exciting, and engaging effort that make substantial scholarly contributions to unpacking the representational challenges for the novel in our present moment of finance capitalism ... Across such a richly researched book, Crosthwaite is highly sensitive to the needs of the reader ... deeply rewarding work.' Andrew Rowcroft, Textual Practice, ...an exemplary work of literary historiography that offers a sophisticated account of late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century Anglo-American literary culture.... a compelling and highly readable account of the complicated relationship between financialization, the publishing industry, authorship, and the novel in the final decades of the twentieth century and the opening decades of the twenty-first ... Crosthwaite's book is an astute historicizing of the contemporary field of literary fiction that is at once expansive and detailed, broad and nuanced. There is a great deal that will be of value here to scholars interested in the intersection of contemporary literary theory with the material conditions of the publishing industry. And by bringing the latter to bear on the former, Crosthwaite has made a significant contribution to our understanding of both.' Hamilton Carroll, American Literary History

Synopsis
This book shows how interrelated shifts in the global financial system and the global publishing industry have transformed the production of contemporary fiction in Britain and the USA. It will appeal to graduate students and researchers working in twenty-first-century literary studies, especially scholars of contemporary British and American fiction., In the twenty-first century, leading publishers are under intense pressure from their conglomerate owners and shareholders to generate growth and profits. This book shows how these pressures have transformed the contemporary novel. Paul Crosthwaite argues that recent British and American authors have internalized the market logics of the financial sector and book trade, resulting in the production of works of 'market metafiction' in which authors reflect obsessively on their writing's positioning in the literary marketplace. The Market Logics of Contemporary Fiction reveals the entanglement of fictional narrative and market dynamics to be the central phenomenon of contemporary literary culture. It engages with work by key authors including Iain Sinclair, Don DeLillo, Kathy Acker, Bret Easton Ellis, Chris Kraus, Percival Everett, David Foster Wallace, Colson Whitehead, Anne Billson, Hari Kunzru, Barbara Browning, Teju Cole, Ben Lerner, Tao Lin, Nell Zink, Joshua Cohen, Sheila Heti, and Garth Risk Hallberg.

- e***u (283)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
- e***n (392)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
