Derek C. Maus is professor of English at SUNY Potsdam and author of Unvarnishing Reality: Subversive Russian and American Cold War Satire. He is also editor of Conversations with Colson Whitehead and coeditor (with Owen E. Brady) of Finding a Way Home: A Critical Assessment of Walter Mosley's Fiction, both published by University Press of Mississippi. James J. Donahue is professor and assistant chair of the Department of English & Communication at SUNY Potsdam. He is author of Contemporary Native Fiction: Toward a Narrative Poetics of Survivance and Failed Frontiersmen: White Men and Myth in the Post-Sixties American Historical Romance and coeditor (with Jennifer Ann Ho and Shaun Morgan) of Narrative, Race, and Ethnicity in the United States. Maus and Donahue coedited Post-Soul Satire: Black Identity after Civil Rights, published by University Press of Mississippi.

The erudite analysis unpacks the complex ideas embedded in the series’s surreal vision of Atlanta. This will enhance fans’ appreciation of the show. (Publishers Weekly) Greater Atlanta is the collection we need right now. It is far more than the first extended critical study of Atlanta, one of the best television shows of our era. This volume gathers the sharpest minds interested in African American culture and satire to examine the many complexities in Black lives since the Obama presidency. A sequel to Post-Soul Satire: Black Identity after Civil Rights, in many ways Greater Atlanta is even more essential. No scholar of contemporary African American culture should be without it." - Darryl Dickson-Carr, professor of English at Southern Methodist University
