NEW BOOK: Borders and Border Crossings in the Contemporary British Short Story\u00a0<\/em>(Palgrave, 2019), <\/em>edited by Barbara Korte and Laura Lojo-Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

This book represents a contribution to both border studies and short story studies. In today\u2019s world, there is ample evidence of the return of borders worldwide: as material reality, as a concept, and as a way of thinking. This collection of critical essays focuses on the ways in which the contemporary British short story mirrors, questions and engages with border issues in national and individual life. At the same time, the concept of the border, as well as neighbouring notions of liminality and intersectionality, is used to illuminate the short story\u2019s unique aesthetic potential. The first section, \u201cGeopolitics and Grievable Lives\u201d, includes chapters that address the various ways in which contemporary stories engage with our newly bordered world and borders within contemporary Britain. The second section examines how British short stories engage with \u201cEthnicity and Liminal Identities\u201d, while the third, \u201cAnimal Encounters and Metamorphic Bodies\u201d, focuses on stories concerned with epistemological borders and borderlands of existence and identity. Taken together, the chapters in this volume demonstrate the varied and complex ways in which British short stories in the twenty-first century engage with the concept of the border<\/span>.\u00a0 <\/span>More Information.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

NEW BOOK: Gender & Short Fiction. Women\u2019s Tales in Contemporary Britain <\/em>(Routledge, 2018), <\/em>edited by Jorge Sacido Romero and Laura Lojo Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

In Gender and Short Fiction: Women\u2019s Tales in Contemporary Britain<\/i>, Jorge Sacido-Romero and Laura M\u00aa Lojo-Rodr\u00edguez explain why artistically ambitious women writers continue turning to the short story, a genre that has not yet attained the degree of literary prestige and social recognition the novel has had in the modern period. In this timely volume, the editors endorse the view that the genre still retains its potential as a vehicle for the expression of female experience alternative to and\/or critical with dominant patriarchal ideology present at the very onset of the development of the modern British short story at the turn of the nineteenth century.\u00a0 <\/span>More Information.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n
