{"product_id":"fiction-beyond-secularism-justin-neuman-9780810129894","title":"Fiction Beyond Secularism: Volume 15","description":"\u003cp\u003eModernist thinkers once presumed a progressive secularity, with the novel replacing religious texts as society's moral epics. Yet religion--beginning with the Iranian revolution of 1979, through the collapse of communism, and culminating in the singular rupture of September 11, 2001--has not retreated quietly out of sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eFiction Beyond Secularism, \u003c\/i\u003eJustin Neuman argues that contemporary novelists who are most commonly identified as antireligious--among them Orhan Pamuk, Salman Rushdie, Ian McEwan, Margaret Atwood, Nadine Gordimer, Haruki Murakami, and J. M. Coetzee--have defied assumptions and have instead written some of the most trenchant critiques of secular ideologies, as well as the most exciting and rigorous inquiries into the legacies of the religious imagination. As a result, many readers (or nonreaders) on either side of the religious divide neglect the insights of works like \u003ci\u003eThe Satanic Verses, Disgrace, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eSnow. Fiction Beyond Secularism \u003c\/i\u003eserves as a timely corrective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Justin Neuman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810129892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810129894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Justin Neuman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065162674431,"sku":"9780810129894","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31ce3717-b7a1-4c84-a7ab-c63df1ffc592.jpg?v=1768673403","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fiction-beyond-secularism-justin-neuman-9780810129894","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
