The series concluded late in 2015 after three seasons, despite widespread fan support for its continuation. While there is a healthy body of scholarship on Harris's novels and Demme's film adaptation, little critical attention has been paid to this newest iteration of the character and narrative. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Hannibal builds on the serial killer narratives of popular procedurals, while taking them in a drastically different direction. Like critically acclaimed series such as \u003ci\u003eBreaking Bad \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Sopranos\u003c\/i\u003e, it makes its viewers complicit in the actions of a deeply problematic individual and, in the case of \u003ci\u003eHannibal, \u003c\/i\u003e forces them to confront that complicity through the character of Will Graham. The essays in \u003ci\u003eBecoming \u003c\/i\u003eexplore these questions of authorship and audience response as well as the show's themes of horror, gore, cannibalism, queerness, and transformation. Contributors also address Hannibal's distinctive visual, auditory, and narrative style. Concluding with a compelling interview with series writer Nick Antosca, this volume will both entertain and educate scholars and fans of \u003ci\u003eHannibal\u003c\/i\u003e and its many iterations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kavita Mudan Finn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815636369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815636366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Kavita Mudan Finn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994012614911,"sku":"9780815636366","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c2833d57-9990-4f1d-b85e-0082d82782d9.jpg?v=1683327608","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/becoming-kavita-mudan-finn-9780815636366","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
