A more puzzling choice is the inclusion of “The Master Race,” the subject of the final chapter, “Visual Landscapes of Memory: Fracturing Time and Space.” Here Aarons returns to mid-century America to discuss “Master Race,” illustrated by Al Feldstein and Bernie Krigstein, respectively, of EC Comics, which specialized in crime, horror and suspense. While “Master Race” is a fascinating piece that has deservedly received recognition for its place in the historiography of Holocaust graphic narratives (perhaps the first postwar US comic to address the aftereffects of the Shoah), it is a fictious tale of revenge that is a departure from the other narratives’ personal connection to the Holocaust and, thus, seems out of place given the author’s overall arc of her study. Aarons’s work is an astute analysis of post-Maus graphic narratives, showing how they have continued to grapple with and inform the Holocaust’s legacy. Her impressive research, drawn from a range of sources, and insightful analysis more than convince that the genre uniquely lends itself to furthering the traumatic memory of the Holocaust. Even, or perhaps especially, as the temporal distance to the event grows, Aarons demonstrates that Holocaust graphic narratives offer a compelling way to approach and remember the complexity of the history and its legacy.","PeriodicalId":45576,"journal":{"name":"MFS-Modern Fiction Studies","volume":"110 1","pages":"574 - 577"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80665127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relations between men and women are depicted as monstrous, so that there seems little about them that could be described as natural. Compulsory heterosexuality is normative, but as Baldwin demonstrates, it is far from normal. Baldwin thus upends the binary that structures the debate about the etiology of sexual identity (natural or cultural) in ways that remain urgent for us today.","PeriodicalId":45576,"journal":{"name":"MFS-Modern Fiction Studies","volume":"83 1","pages":"434 - 459"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80392322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay takes reviews of the bilingual edition of In Other Words as a symptom of the entrenched monolingual paradigm in the United States, analyzes how the textual organization of the book disrupts this paradigm, and identifies Lahiri's understanding of translation as transparent transfer to be the condition of possibility for this disruption. The disruptive multilingualism and poetics of instability in Lahiri's text can be seen as tending toward a postmonolingual paradigm, an increasingly common precondition for writing in a globalized world with or without translation.","PeriodicalId":45576,"journal":{"name":"MFS-Modern Fiction Studies","volume":"28 1","pages":"544 - 565"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83516549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exit West promotes hospitality by activating links between people on small and large scales and suggests that forging relationships with distant others is a necessary project for a robust planetary community. The novel thereby attunes us to ways in which aesthetic engagements with refugees can critique the criminalization of the worldwide movement of peoples and resuscitate a commitment to hospitality.","PeriodicalId":45576,"journal":{"name":"MFS-Modern Fiction Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":"407 - 433"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76701923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emphasizing the possibility of “the sequel” (136) as one such overarching trope might have been one way to shortcircuit that. What would have happened if Watkins had started with this emphasis and gone on to bust open our conventional notion of that literary term? I have the sense that is what Watkins wanted to do with the final chapter—and that, ironically, “the sequel” discussion comes too late. In fact, this was my reaction too on finding in the final chapter an extended reading of Octavia Butler’s unfinished Parable trilogy. Chronologically this is among the earliest among the texts discussed, and an undoubted game-changer in the history of women’s speculative writing. It feels like this discussion could have as easily come at the beginning of the book as at the end—and by treating it as a kind of ur-text for our time, we might indeed have a stronger sense of the feminist literary genealogy that Watkins’s book would provocatively lay out for us. This is no hysterical realism—but rather a development of a specifically feminist mode of realism that Watkins so carefully and provocatively traces for us.","PeriodicalId":45576,"journal":{"name":"MFS-Modern Fiction Studies","volume":"381 1","pages":"593 - 596"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80680000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the novel adapts the Yoruba notion of yetunde to frame the corporeal and emotional connection that the protagonist, Lizzie, shares with her female ancestors. Drawing on decolonized trauma theory, this essay shows how Perry's novel not only rejects the primacy of Western ontologies but also insists that a reappraisal of the traumatic history of enslavement be evaluated from a postcolonial perspective.","PeriodicalId":45576,"journal":{"name":"MFS-Modern Fiction Studies","volume":"88 1","pages":"482 - 505"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73631046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
