By employing corporeal narratology as a conceptual framework, it sheds light on Wallace's profound exploration of the human body and its societal implications. Through detailed analysis, the book reveals how Wallace's narratives serve as a critique of contemporary issues such as self-alienation, consumerism, and the dehumanizing effects of modern society. Designed for scholars and students of literature, cultural studies, and narrative theory, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of Wallace's literary legacy and his keen observations on the complexities of human existence in the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eXiaomeng Wan is an assistant professor in School of Foreign Studies at Tongji University. Dr. Wan received her B.A. degree in Business English and Ph.D. degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China.
