Review Quotes:
"This innovative study uses models of neurodiversity and accounts of time from disability studies to shape valuable new theorizations of the contemporary. By recasting the 'neuronovel' as an account of how the contemporary might be figured and experienced, Simonetti contributes significantly to the flourishing field of neurodiversity studies and literature." --Laura Salisbury, Professor of Modern Literature and Medical Humanities, University of Exeter, UK
"It is well-written, creative, and studies a fascinating intersection, exploring the meaning of temporality between the neuroqueer and the contemporary, absolutely a worthy and original project." --Julia Miele Rodas, Professor of English, City University of New York, USA
