Hieroglyphic Modernisms is carefully argued, well researched, and granular in its distinctions. It draws together an impressive array of films and texts that take up the discourse of hieroglyphs, but it does not sacrifice close attention to language and literary form.--Davide P. Rando, Trinity University James Joyce Quarterly

"Jesse Schotter's illuminating study convincingly shows how the idea and fact of the hieroglyph enabled twentieth-century writers and filmmakers to imagine new potentialities for language, photography and sound. In chapters connecting Joyce, Woolf and Pynchon to Eisenstein and Orson Welles to the post-Ottoman politics of Egypt, Schotter carves out exciting new zones of inquiry.-- ""Nico Israel, CUNY Graduate Center and Hunter College"" Hieroglyphic Modernisms is carefully argued, well researched, and granular in its distinctions.
