In the midst of changing literary landscapes, Book Presence in a Digital Age brings
together scholars, authors, and artists who shed light on, and contribute “to a
comparative literature hovering between art, media, and literary criticism” (2). Editors
Kiene Brillenburg Wurth, Kári Driscoll, and Jessica Pressman have structured the
volume in three main parts that comprise a total of thirteen chapters. As each part
ends with an interview piece, the structure employed provides ample space for varied
perspectives while it blends scholarly contributions and creators’ voices, signaling
awareness of the complexities and interdisciplinary nature of contemporary literary
production.
