{"product_id":"9781783084487","title":"Christos Tsiolkas and the Fiction of Critique: Politics, Obscenity, Celebrity","description":"\u003cp\u003eChristos Tsiolkas is one of the most recognizable and internationally successful literary novelists working in Australia today. He is also one of the country’s most politically engaged writers. These terms – recognition, commercial success, political engagement – suggest a relationship to forms of public discourse that belies the extremely confronting nature of much of Tsiolkas’s fiction and his deliberate attempt to cultivate a literary persona oriented to notions of blasphemy, obscenity and what could broadly be called a pornographic sensibility. ‘Christos Tsiolkas and the Fiction of Critique’ traces these contradictions against Tsiolkas’s acute sense of the waning of working-class identity, and reads his work as a sustained examination of the ways in which literature might express an opposition to capitalist modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anthem Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136865222896,"sku":"9781783084487","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783084487_p0.jpg?v=1763724711","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783084487","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
