Its takes as its point of departure the return of racial and gender passing in the 1990s in order to make claims about wider trends in contemporary American fiction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book accounts for the return of tropes of passing in fiction by Phillip Roth, Percival Everett, Louise Erdrich, Danzy Senna, Jeffrey Eugenides and Paul Beatty, by arguing meta-critical and meta-fictional tool. These writers are attracted to the trope of passing because passing narratives have always foregrounded the notion of textuality in relation to the (il)legibility of \"black\" subjects passing as white. The central argument of this book, then, is that contemporary narratives of passing are concerned with articulating and unpacking an analogy between passing and authorship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe title promises to inaugurate dialogue on the relationships between passing, postmodernism and authorship in contemporary American fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sinead Moynihan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526156016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526156013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/29\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.41d","brand":"Sinead Moynihan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943149666559,"sku":"9781526156013","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_de231f65-59c7-43b0-823e-80388442f0c5.jpg?v=1681496491","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/passing-into-the-present-sharon-monteith-9781526156013","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
