David Coughlan’s innovative structure has chapters on Paul Auster,  Don DeLillo, Toni Morrison, Marilynne Robinson, and Philip Roth alternating  with shorter sections detailing the significance of the ghost in the  philosophy of Jacques Derrida, particularly within the context of his 1993  text, \u003ci\u003eSpecters of Marx\u003c\/i\u003e. Together, these accounts of phantoms, shadows,  haunts, spirit, the death sentence, and hospitality provide a compelling  theoretical context in which to read contemporary US literature. \u003ci\u003eGhost  Writing in Contemporary American Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e argues at every stage that there  is no self, no relation to the other, no love, no home, no mourning, no  future, no trace of life without the return of the specter—that is, without  ghost writing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-11-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137410238\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-41024-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 224\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752399892620,"sku":"9781137410238","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137410238.jpg?v=1775915307","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137410238","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
