{"product_id":"shame-in-contemporary-you-narration","title":"Shame in Contemporary You-Narration","description":"In fiction, you-narratives written in the last decade across the world parody the form of second-person address found in advertising, self-help and 'how-to' books while anticipating shame and culpability. To establish the significance of affect, this book returns to second-person narrative theory's neglected origins in the theory of autobiography. This book examines the use of you across media: novels and memoirs by Paul Auster, Carmen Maria Machado, Alejandro Zambra, Vendela Vida, Christine Angot, Clarice Lispector, Charles Yu, and Caleb Azumah Nelson; poems by Claudia Rankine and Phoebe Waller-Bridge's play and television series Fleabag (2016 19). These texts are brought into dialogue with narratology, philosophy, literary criticism and critical race theory to illustrate how the second-person pronoun's capacity to address the real-world reader inevitably renders such narratives a site for political and ethical contestation.","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54839577674072,"sku":"9781399546959","price":102.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781399546959.jpg?v=1777948224","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/shame-in-contemporary-you-narration","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
