Description:
Curating Worlds: Museum Practices in Contemporary Literature shows how museum practices shed new light on literary form itself--how stories are created, shaped, and communicated--while making sense of the lives, and afterlives, of things today.
Review Quotes:
"Curating Worlds proposes an exhilarating new way of understanding contemporary world literature by examining its dynamic relationships to material practices that orient readers within spatial and temporal trajectories. Dazzling in its originality and ambition, and written in engaging prose, the work comes off so successfully that the reader hardly recognizes the audacious novelty of the project." --Rebecca Falkoff, University of Texas at Austin
