De Cristofaro’s study creates an impetus to reframe not only critical thinking around post-apocalyptic narratives, but also the practical aspect of creating them. * C21 Literature *\u003cbr\u003eA theoretical tour de force. * The Year's Work in English Studies *\u003cbr\u003eThe treatment of the works in \u003ci\u003eThe Contemporary Post-Apocalyptic Novel\u003c\/i\u003e is accessible and lucidly presented. The extensive and effective footnoting offers further avenues for exploration, and the comprehensive explanations of De Cristofaro’s theorization of critical temporalities ethically and accessibly integrates theory across schools and disciplines to produce a rigorously interdisciplinary work. This text may well become required reading for students of contemporary literature—not only sf and speculative theorists. Equally, it may be useful to scholars concerned with how time shapes our present and whether we can act within the confines of narratives of our temporal present and its location in history. * Chelsea Haith, Extrapolation *\u003cbr\u003eSet to become a landmark study of 21st century fiction, this wide-ranging, thought-provoking study is an invaluable resource, representing  original work of the highest order, from a writer both engagingly readable and critically sophisticated. * Judie Newman, OBE, Professor of American and Canadian Studies, University of Nottingham *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION Apocalypse Now: Critical Temporalities CHAPTER ONE: Biblical Parodies CHAPTER TWO: Apocalypse America CHAPTER THREE: The New Worlds of the Anthropocene CHAPTER FOUR: After the Neoliberal Future CONCLUSION The Post-Apocalyptic Archive BIBLIOGRAPHY","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52084826407255,"sku":"9781350085770","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781350085770.jpg?v=1762207284","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-contemporary-postapocalyptic-novel-9781350085770","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
