Reviews
Joseph Conrad: Slow Modernism offers a new way of reading Conrad's place in modernism, focusing on those moments in his fiction that slow down narrative, retard logical and temporal sequence, or linger over experiences outside conventional measurements of time and space. * Christopher GoGwilt, Fordham University, Journal of Modern Literature * With this book Levin makes a significant contribution to Conrad studies. It is a book with which all Conrad scholars should become familiar. * J. G. Peters, CHOICE * Joseph Conrad: Slow Modernism's compelling reassessment of Conrad's work is valuable not only for its nuanced and convincing readings and for its contribution to the prehistory of modernism. It is also relevant for our current understanding of narrative. * Riccardo Capoferro, Joseph Conrad Today * The best literary criticism rubs away the veneer of familiarity that can mummify even the freshest and most original works of imagination. Yael Levin accomplishes this and more in Joseph Conrad: Slow Modernism...an erudite, thoughtful, demanding, and disruptive book that I recommend to every Conrad reader. * Richard Ruppel, Journal of Literature and the History of Ideas *
