- Drawing upon fresh theoretical materials, this monograph offers a sustained and wide-ranging analysis of philosophy, contemporary fiction and narrative theory. The work provides in-depth interpretation of Giorgio Agamben’s philosophical work, as well as that of other theorists, including Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault and Gérard Genette. It also engages with an extensive range of subjects and fields, including the law, norms and exceptions; time and space; contemporary fiction and narrative; sexuality, gender, and queer theory; animality; and set theory. Through sensitive close readings, the work also offers original theories of the prequel, narrative relations, and the practice of reading itself.
