Concerned with historical and literary 'failures,' this work is a profound reflection on the fragmentary and spectral (but not therefore any less compelling) nature of echoes, influences, and prophecies. A work of sophistication and intellectual ambition, Bulletproof is a timely and innovative intervention in postcolonial studies.\" - Rita Barnard, University of Pennsylvania\"","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51036733800791,"sku":"9780226893471","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780226893471.jpg?v=1750932498","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/bulletproof-9780226893471","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
