Accommodating the Anthropocene
In its analysis of the home as a site of ecological significance in twenty-first-century climate fiction, this article focuses on three novels that explore the interstices of a changing climate, economic vulnerability, and the loss of the physical home. Using Andrew McGahan’s The White Earth, Jesmyn Ward’s Salvage the Bones, and Barbara Kingsolver’s Flight Behavior, the article explores the ways in which the domestic effects of climate change cha…
Mens Rea and Narratives of Violence
This article presents two twenty-first-century novels that deal with particularly charged and contemporary expressions of violence in the United States: Matthew Quick’s Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock and the threat of armed students in school, and John Updike’s Terrorist and the threat of Islamic extremism. High profile acts of violence of this kind in the United States leading up to and into the years following the turn of the millennium prompted s…

This special issue focusses on the injured and injuring body as the site at which emerge constellations of hostility and intimacy between, variously, combatants, other military and medical personnel, and civilians. The articles consider unexpected, previously undiscussed war intimacies across several major conflicts of the …
The short story and the bigger picture
Self-sufficient and epiphanic, the analeptic short story is presented in this article as a separate type of narrative that exists within the larger novel. Distinct from the analepsis in general, such short stories can be read as autonomous in that, despite their brevity, they are self-contained and cohesive fictions, able to stand alone and still function as a whole. As this article demonstrates, analeptic short stories are revelatory and can ser…
Both absent and omnipresent
Mothers in popular culture are frequently absent, which has varying consequences for their offspring. Whilst such an omission from the plot is often read as indicative of their lack of currency and worth in their children’s lives, this is not necessarily the case. Through an analysis of the British television series Fleabag, a modern fairy tale, this article argues that the absence of the mother can serve to magnify her importance rather than mit…
