Reviews

There are a number of impressive things about this book: it combines theory with practice; the argument is clear and carefully signaled throughout; the selection of Coetzee, Harris, and Morrison is a stroke of genius that allows Durrant to reinforce his theoretical claims in a consistent manner; and Durrant avoids both celebrating and politicizing his chosen texts.
