Description
Book Synopsis
Interdisciplinary in nature, this project draws on fiction, non-fiction and archival material to theorize urban space and literary/cultural production in the context of the United States and New York City. Spanning from the mid-1970s fiscal crisis to the 1987 Market Crash, New York writing becomes akin to geographical fieldwork in this rich study.Review Quotes
"Urban Space and Late Twentieth-Century New York Literature proposes a new theoretical approach to literary geography by delving into writers' responses to the uneven development of New York City, and it offers a thorough critique of literature written in the 1970s and 1980s. ... It is definitely a useful tool for those who wish to explore the intersections of late twentieth-century New York fiction and non-fiction, archival material, urban, human, and cultural geography, and urban politics and history." (Erika Mikó, Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies, Vol. 22 (2), 2017)
