{"product_id":"9780820497181","title":"Forever Young: Essays on Young Adult Fictions","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores ‘young adult’ fictions – stories about being young, staying young and sometimes never wanting to grow up. Looking at controversial novels by Francesca Lia Block, at sex and ‘race’ in \u003ci\u003eBuffy the Vampire Slayer\u003c\/i\u003e, and at the online world of fans and censors, Chris Richards argues that attempts to classify and regulate what counts as ‘young adult’ have failed, and shows how youth – as intense, exciting and tormented – draws audiences unconstrained by age. Throughout the book, the narratives of life as lived by the young emerge as the stuff of the ‘self’ – made and remade in reading, watching and listening. Fascinating and accessible, \u003ci\u003eForever Young\u003c\/i\u003e will be of particular interest to students and teachers concerned with contemporary popular culture in cultural, media, literature and education studies courses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Publishing Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030845505776,"sku":"9780820497181","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780820497181_p0.jpg?v=1763744457","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780820497181","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
