David Coughlan's innovative structure has chapters on Paul Auster, Don DeLillo, Toni Morrison, Marilynne Robinson, and Philip Roth alternating with shorter sections detailing the significance of the ghost in the philosophy of Jacques Derrida, particularly within the context of his 1993 text, \u003ci\u003eSpecters of Marx\u003c\/i\u003e. 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. \u003ci\u003eGhost Writing in Contemporary American Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e 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":"Paperback","offer_id":45280959037591,"sku":"9781349681549","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781349681549.webp?v=1769297814","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ghost-writing-in-contemporary-american-fiction-9781349681549","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
