It contains major new essays on each of his novels – The Impressionist, Transmission, My Revolutions, Gods Without Men, White Tears and Red Pill – as well as his short fiction and non-fiction writings. The collection situates Kunzru’s work within current debates regarding postmodernism, postcolonialism, and post-postmodernism, and examines how Kunzru’s work is central to major thematic concerns of contemporary writing including whiteness, national identity, Britishness, cosmopolitanism, music, space, memory, art practice, trauma, Brexit, immigration, covid-19, and populist politics. The book engages with current debates regarding the politics of publishing of ethnic writers, examining how Kunzru has managed to shape a career in resistance of narrow labelling where many other writers have struggled to achieve long-term recognition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: ‘Adding Up to an Unknown’: the elusive fictions of Hari Kunzru – Kristian Shaw and Sara Upstone\u003cbr\u003e1 ‘Walking into Whiteness’: \u003ci\u003eThe Impressionist\u003c\/i\u003e and the routes of empire – Churnjeet Mahn\u003cbr\u003e2 ‘It was the revenge of the uncontrollable world’: \u003ci\u003eTransmission\u003c\/i\u003e and COVID-19’ – Lucienne Loh\u003cbr\u003e3 Turning the tide, or turning around in \u003ci\u003eMy Revolutions\u003c\/i\u003e – Maëlle Jeanniard du Dot\u003cbr\u003e4 Subjectivity at its limits: fugitive community in Kunzru’s short stories – Peter Ely\u003cbr\u003e5 The fiction of every-era\/no-era: \u003ci\u003eGods Without Men\u003c\/i\u003e as ‘translit’ – Bran Nicol \u003cbr\u003e6 ‘Eyes, ears, head, memory, heart’: transglossic rhythms in \u003ci\u003eMemory Palace\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTwice Upon a Time – \u003c\/i\u003eSara Upstone\u003cbr\u003e7 ‘The ghost is him’: the echoes of racism, non-being and haunting in \u003ci\u003eWhite Tears – \u003c\/i\u003eDavid Hering\u003cbr\u003e8 'Food for the wolves': the rise of the alt-right in \u003ci\u003eRed Pill\u003c\/i\u003e – Kristian Shaw\u003cbr\u003e9 ‘In the wake of all that’: a conversation with Hari Kunzru – Kristian Shaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041019494743,"sku":"9781526155207","price":67.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526155207.jpg?v=1750948623","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/hari-kunzru-9781526155207","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
