{"product_id":"unidentified-narrative-objects-and-the-kate-willman-9781781888209","title":"Unidentified Narrative Objects and the New Italian Epic","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 21st century has seen a surge of popularity in texts that cross the borders between styles, genres and media, between real-life events and imagined ones, so that these texts are difficult to categorise or sometimes to distinguish as fiction or nonfiction. They might be called 'unidentified narrative objects', a term coined by the Italian writer Wu Ming 1 when discussing Italian literature after 2000 in his Memorandum on the New Italian Epic, whose writers have a common belief in the power of literature to effect change in society by depicting and re-assessing the past and present. Through analysing a number of recent Italian unidentified narrative objects, this study explores the potential of this experimental approach to the novel form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKate Willman completed her PhD at the University of Warwick and has since taught at the University of Bristol and held a fellowship at the Institute of Modern Languages Research (London).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kate Willman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781888205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781888209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Legenda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.39d","brand":"Kate Willman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45897224978687,"sku":"9781781888209","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4892ea2a-7a7b-4825-89b8-9b94cae8d794.jpg?v=1721373452","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unidentified-narrative-objects-and-the-kate-willman-9781781888209","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
