Reviews

This is an extremely timely book. Narrative experiences are increasingly locative and enabled by mobile technologies. This volume adds a much needed range of perspectives in this area of research, exploring works via cross-disciplinary theories, methods, and practices. * Alice Bell, Professor of English Language and Literature, Sheffield Hallam University, UK *
