These complexities are best revealed, this book argues, by proceeding from a forensic examination of characters' domestic buildings and spaces.\u003cbr\u003eExamining novels from a broad range of writers, including Zadie Smith, Jonathan Lethem, Aravind Adiga, Michael Chabon and Irvine Welsh, this book makes a powerful case for the importance of literature in helping to understand the lived experience of gentrification.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Peacock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350295973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350295971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"James Peacock","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47087582904575,"sku":"9781350295971","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b94ba400-0f63-4503-b74c-8bd3b79e0840.jpg?v=1753850288","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gentrification-in-contemporary-fiction-james-peacock-9781350295971","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
