Letter from the Editors:
We are pleased to present the 2021 Columbia University Press literary studies catalog. The past year was a challenging one on many fronts and we hope the books in this catalog reflect the various ways in which literary studies and literature provide new ways of thinking and understanding our world. We feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with many of the authors included in the catalog and are excited to be sharing these books with you. One of the defining features of our list has been its emphasis on twentieth- and twenty-first- century literary studies. In 2021, I am excited to be publishing Robert O’Meally’s Antagonistic Cooperation, which examines how key African American writers, musicians, and visual artists shaped each other’s work and provided a lens to understand American society and the global African diaspora. Jill Richards’s The Fury Archives provides an alternative literary and cultural history of women’s rights, practiced by female arsonists, suffragette rioters, industrial saboteurs, self-named terrorists, lesbian criminals, and queer resistance cells. For our list in modernist studies, Daniel Ryan Morse’s Radio Empire demonstrates how radio became a cauldron of global modernism and an unlikely nexus of artistic exchange and Ulysses by Numbers, by Eric Bulson, provides a new way of reading Joyce’s novel as it considers the use (and misuse) of quantitative methods in literary analysis.
Moving into the postwar and contemporary eras, Redlining Culture, by Richard So, demonstrates the unmistakable role of racial inequality in twentieth-century American fiction and literary culture. Tonal Intelligence, by Sunny Xiang, reveals how anxieties about racial intelligibility shaped Asian American and Asian literature and culture, and Matthew Hart’s Extraterritorial reads writers such as Margaret Atwood, Amitav Ghosh, Chang-rae Lee, and China Miéville and how their work draws on spaces that are neither global or national. We also have three books that reveal how new technologies have affected literature and the physical form of the book: Postprint, by N. Katherine Hayles, explores how the interweaving of print and digital technologies has changed not only books but also language, authorship, and what it means to be human. In Bookishness, Jessica Pressman shows how the fetishization of books has caught the attention of readers and contemporary writers. Mike Chasar challenges the cliché of the death of poetry in Poetry Unbound by illuminating this literary form’s multimedia history.
Three new works reconsider crucial twentieth-century figures: Subterranean Fanon, by Gavin Arnall, offers a new way of understanding Fanon’s views on revolutionary change; Lynne Huffer’s Foucault's Strange Eros rewrites the French thinker as a Sapphic poet and in A Face Drawn in the Sand; Rey Chow articulates the plight of the humanities in the age of global finance and neoliberal mores viaFoucault’s concept “outside.” The humanities are also reconsidered and reimagined in Eric Hayot’s Humanist Reason, which makes a positive and provocative case for what humanists are actually doing and how their work can be reconceived for the twenty-first century.
I’d also like to call your attention to books in the recently launched Rereadings series, which looks at novels both celebrated and neglected and to display the full range of the possibilities of criticism through scholarship, theory, and creative writing. We have three books to kick off the series: Peter Coviello’s Vineland Reread offers a spirited and moving reclamation of an oft-overlooked Pynchon novel. Ivan Kreilkamp brings his chops as a literary and rock critic to bear in A Visit from the Goon Squad Reread. And in To Write as if Already Dead, noted novelist Kate Zambreno revisit’s Hervé Guibert’s To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life. As always, we have an excellent selection of new books in Asian literary studies, including Pleasure in Profit: Popular Prose in Seventeenth-Century Japan, by Laura Moretti; Staging Personhood: Costuming in Early Qing Drama, by Guojung Wang; and Photo Poetics: Chinese Lyricism and Modern Media Culture, by Shengqing Wu. Likewise, be sure to check out our equally amazing new works in East Asian and Russian literature. We hope you share our excitement and please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or would like to discuss your own book project.

To Write as if Already Dead
B-Side Books
Essays on Forgotten Favorites
Kate Zambreno
Edited by John Plotz
Leading writers, critics, and scholars show why their favorite forgotten books deserve a new audience. In these thoughtful, often personal essays, contributors—including Caleb Crain, Merve Emre, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Namwali Serpell—read books by writers such as Helen DeWitt, Shirley Jackson, Stanislaw Lem, Paule Marshall, and Charles Portis.
To Write as if Already Dead circles around Kate Zambreno’s failed attempts to write a study of Hervé Guibert’s To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life. Zambreno, who has been pushing the boundaries of literary form for a decade, investigates Guibert’s methods by adopting them, offering a keen sense of the energy and confessional force of his work.

Tonal Intelligence
Bookishness
The Aesthetics of Asian Inscrutability During the Long Cold War
Loving Books in a Digital Age Jessica Pressman
Sunny Xiang
Jessica Pressman explains the rise of “bookishness” as an identity and an aesthetic strategy that proliferates from store-window decor to experimental writing. Ranging from literature to kitsch objects, stop-motion animation films to book design, she considers the multivalent meanings of books in contemporary digital culture.
Sunny Xiang offers a new way of understanding the American Cold War in Asia by tracing aesthetic manifestations of “Oriental inscrutability” across a wide range of texts. She puts interrogation reports, policy memos, and field notes into conversation with novels, poems, documentaries, and mixed–media work.

Jill Richards
Examining key novels by Michel Houellebecq, Frédéric Beigbeder, Aurélien Bellanger, Yann Moix, and other French writers, Christy Wampole identifies and critiques an emergent tendency toward “degenerative realism.” $35.00 /£27.00 paper 978-0-231-18517-2 $140.00 / £115.00 cloth 978-0-231-18516-5 2020 296 pages
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, radical women’s movements and the avant-gardes were often in contact with one another. Recovering a transatlantic archive, Jill Richards argues that the relationship of women’s rights movements and the avant-gardes offers a radical alternative to liberal discourses of human rights in formation at the same historical moment. $35.00 / £27.00 paper 978-0-231-19711-3

How did literary artists confront the middle of a century already defined by two global wars and newly faced with a nuclear future? Claire Seiler argues that a sense of suspension—a feeling of being between beginnings and endings, recent horrors and opaque horizons— shaped transatlantic literary forms and cultural expression in this singular moment.

Ulysses by Numbers
Speculation
Eric Bulson
A Cultural History from Aristotle to AI
Ulysses has been read obsessively for a century. What if instead of focusing on the words to understand the structure, design, and history of Joyce’s masterpiece, we pay attention to the numbers?

Gayle Rogers
Speculation fueled the development of modern capitalism, spurring booms, busts, and bubbles, and recently artificial intelligence has automated the speculation previously done by humans, with uncertain and troubling consequences. Unraveling these histories, Gayle Rogers argues that what has always been at stake in arguments over speculation is the authority to produce and control knowledge about the future. $30.00 /£25.00 paper 978-0-231-20021-9 $120.00 / £100.00 cloth 978-0-231-20020-2 July 2021 288 pages

In The Ferrante Letters, four critics offer a series of epistolary readings of the Neapolitan Quartet that also develops new ways of reading and thinking together. In intertwined, original, and daring readings of Elena Ferrante’s work and her fictional world, the authors find a mode of criticism that falls between the seminar and the book club.
Inventing Tomorrow provides a definitive account of H. G. Wells’s work and ideas. Sarah Cole illuminates his distinctive style as well as his interventions into social and political thought, arguing that he embodies twentiethcentury literature at its most expansive and engaged.

Foucault,s Strange Eros
An Underground Theory of Radical Change
Lynne Huffer
Gavin Arnall
The problem of change recurs across Frantz Fanon’s writings. Gavin Arnall traces an internal division throughout Fanon’s work, contending that there are two Fanons: a dominant Fanon who conceives of change as a dialectical process of becoming and a subterranean Fanon who experiments with an even more explosive underground theory of transformation. $30:00 / £25.00 paper 978-0-231-19365-8 $120.00 / £100.00 cloth 978-0-231-19364-1 2020 304 pages

Beholding the Pain of Humanity Foreword by Jake Chapman
Edited by Claude Doron General
Editor: François Ewald. English Series Editor: Bernard E. Harcourt
Translated by Graham Burchell Foreword by Bernard E. Harcourt
Michel Foucault’s interest in the history of sexuality began as early as the 1960s, when he taught two courses on the subject. These lectures offer crucial insight into the development of Foucault’s thought yet have remained unpublished until recently. This book presents Foucault’s lectures on sexuality for the first time in English.
Through a critical exploration of violence and the sacred, Ecce Humanitas recasts the fall of liberal humanism. Brad Evans offers a rich analysis of the changing nature of sacrificial violence, from its theological origins to the exhaustion of the victim in the contemporary world.

Why Critical Theory Needs Psychoanalysis
Bernard E. Harcourt
Amy Allen
Bernard E. Harcourt calls for moving beyond the complacency of decades of philosophical detours and harnessing critical thought to the need for action. Critique and Praxis advocates for a new path forward that constantly challenges each one of us to ask what more we can do to realize a society based on equality and justice.
Does critical theory still need psychoanalysis? Amy Allen offers a cogent and convincing defense of its ongoing relevance. She draws on Freud, Klein, and Lacan to develop a more realistic strand of psychoanalytic thinking that centers on notions of loss, negativity, ambivalence, and mourning.

This volume presents a selection of papers delivered at the fourteenth International Conference on English and American Literature and Language, an international event organized by the Institute of English Studies at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków.

She reveals how women’s humor in Some Tame Gazelle, Excellent Women, and Jane and Prudence enables female characters to survive in a patriarchal culture.

Hoyt Long offers both a reinterpretation of modern Japanese literature through computational methods and an introduction to the history, theory, and practice of looking at literature through numbers. He weaves explanations of these methods and their application together with reflection on the kinds of reasoning such methodologies facilitate.
“Information” has become a core concept across the disciplines, yet it is still often seen as a unique feature of the Western world or the digital age. Leading experts turn to China’s textual tradition to show the significance of information for reconceptualizing the work of literary history, from its beginnings to the present moment.

Si Nae Park examines how the culture of Chosŏn Seoul gave rise to a new vernacular literary form (yadam), anonymously and unofficially circulating tales. She focuses on the collection Repeatedly Recited Stories of the East, which was written in a new medium in which Literary Sinitic is hybridized with the vernacular realities of Chosŏn society.
The lineage novel flourished in Korea from the late seventeenth to the early twentieth century. Ksenia Chizhova foregrounds lineage novels and the domestic world in which they were read to recast the social transformations of Chosŏn Korea and the development of early modern Korean literature.

Lo offers a deft portrayal of the rift between China and Taiwan through an intimate view of a father-son relationship that bridges this divide.

Translated by Jonathan Stone
The tales collected in The Nose and Other Stories are among the greatest achievements of world literature. They showcase Nikolai Gogol’s vivid, haunting imagination: an encounter with evil in a darkened church, a downtrodden clerk who dreams only of a new overcoat, a nose that falls off a face and reappears around town on its own.
This book presents Andrei Bely’s four Symphonies—“Dramatic Symphony,” “Northern Symphony,” “The Return,” and “Goblet of Blizzards”—fantastically strange stories and quintessential works of modernist innovation.
