Kiene Brillenburg Wurth, Kári Driscoll, Jessica Pressman, eds. Book Presence in a Digital Age

Abstract

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.
