Taking \u003ci\u003eDoomsday Book\u003c\/i\u003e as its cue, this collection argues that Connie Willis's most famous novel, along with the rest of her oeuvre, performs science fiction's task of cognitive estrangement by highlighting our human inability to read the times correctly-and yet also affirming the ethical imperative to attempt to truly observe and record our temporal location. Willis's fiction emphasizes that doomsdays happen every day, and they risk being forgotten by some, even as their trauma repeats for others. However, disasters also have the potential to upend accepted knowledge and transform the social order for the better, and this collection considers the ways that Willis pairs comic and tragic modes to reflect these uncertainties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carissa Turner Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032303808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032303802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Carissa Turner Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070932971775,"sku":"9781032303802","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d9da0319-b71a-44a6-b54e-6e152f376df7.jpg?v=1685433179","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/connie-williss-science-fiction-carissa-turner-smith-9781032303802","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
