{"product_id":"out-of-print-julia-panko-9781625345608","title":"Out of Print: Mediating Information in the Novel and the Book","description":"Through technological experiments, readers have seen the concept of the book change over the years, and the novel reflects these experiments, acting as a kind of archive for information.\u003ci\u003e Out of Print \u003c\/i\u003ereveals that the novel continues to shape popular understandings of information culture, even as it adapts to engage with new media and new practices of mediating information in the digital age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis innovative study chronicles how the print book has fared as both novelists and the burgeoning profession of information science have grappled with unprecedented quantities of data across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. As the novel's archival project took a critical turn from realism to an investigation of the structures, possibilities, and ideologies of information media, novelists have considered ideas about how data can best be collected and stored. Julia Panko pairs case studies from information history with close readings of modernist works such as James Joyce's \u003ci\u003eUlysses \u003c\/i\u003eand Virginia Woolf's \u003ci\u003eOrlando\u003c\/i\u003e and contemporary novels from Jonathan Safran Foer, Stephen King, and Mark Z. Danielewski that emphasize their own informational qualities and experiment with the aesthetic potential of the print book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Panko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1625345607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625345608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Massachusetts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Julia Panko","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978565812479,"sku":"9781625345608","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3cb06720-f151-40a1-a5e5-73cbf345d01e.jpg?v=1683242155","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/out-of-print-julia-panko-9781625345608","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
