To establish the significance of affect, this book returns to second-person narrative theory's neglected origins in the theory of autobiography. This book examines the use of \u003ci\u003eyou \u003c\/i\u003eacross media: novels and memoirs by Paul Auster, Carmen Maria Machado, Alejandro Zambra, Vendela Vida, Christine Angot, Clarice Lispector, Charles Yu, and Caleb Azumah Nelson; poems by Claudia Rankine and Phoebe Waller-Bridge's play and television series \u003ci\u003eFleabag \u003c\/i\u003e(2016-19). These texts are brought into dialogue with narratology, philosophy, literary criticism and critical race theory to illustrate how the second-person pronoun's capacity to address the real-world reader inevitably renders such narratives a site for political and ethical contestation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denise Wong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399546953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399546959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Denise Wong","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47579720483071,"sku":"9781399546959","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f77c8847-4b4e-4ce5-b665-9507e51b3e03.jpg?v=1763876181","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shame-in-contemporary-you-narration-denise-wong-9781399546959","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
