“Readers primarily trained in literary studies will find the chapters accessible, with many focusing on how elements of narrative … reify or intimate a resistance to the excesses of neo-liberalism. … the book’s nuanced commentaries on the ever-pernicious effects of capital, in an age where culture itself reproduces the inequalities of capital accumulation, reveals the limitations of locating literary studies solely within the realm of cultural production.” (Ann Ang, Journal of Postcolonial Writing, November 1, 2020)
