• Statement of Responsibility: Patrick McGee.

In this provocative and illuminating book, Patrick McGee looks at the ways in which certain texts resist the dominant cultural assumptions that condition their writing and reception. Challenging received notions of aesthetic and social value, he offers readings of modernist, postmodernist, and postcolonial works that suggest forms of relationship which disrupt social systems and institutional hierarchies.
