By exploring the novels of Jon McGregor, Mike McCormack, David Mitchell, Jeanette Winterson and Maggie Gee, Jonathan Boulter suggests that we can think of literature, the space of the imagination, as the place where some conception (ethical, ecological, or ontological) of the disaster emerges. These novels, all in some ways about the disaster, just as they are inflected by the disaster, become the place where an understanding of critical events - death, ecological catastrophe, pandemics - is possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Boulter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474499627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474499620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Jonathan Boulter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45897360048383,"sku":"9781474499620","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c9b6a9c-8ebf-4628-8595-d25aef4fca87.jpg?v=1721373750","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blanchot-ecology-and-contemporary-fiction-jonathan-boulter-9781474499620","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
