David Coughlan s innovative structure incorporates chapters on Paul Auster, Don DeLillo, Toni Morrison, Marilynne Robinson, and Philip Roth, alternating with shorter sections that connect the significance of the ghost to the philosophy of Jacques Derrida, particularly within the context of his 1993 text, \"Specters of Marx.\" Together, these accounts of phantoms, shadows, haunts, spirit, the death sentence, and hospitality provide a compelling theoretical context in which to read contemporary US literature. \"Ghost Writing in Contemporary American Fiction\" argues at every stage that there is no self, no relation to the other, no love, no home, no mourning, no future, no trace of life without the return of the specter that is, without ghost writing.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45275778515095,"sku":"9781137410238","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781137410238.webp?v=1769283879","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ghost-writing-in-contemporary-american-fiction-9781137410238","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
