- Novel Shocks brings together nearly a decade of extensive research into the fields of 20th-century American literary studies, psychoanalysis, urban studies, and political economies of neoliberalism, alongside archival work on Robert Moses’ slum clearance projects in New York. By showing how the formal and narrative innovations of 1950s American literature were catalysed by the experience of urban renewal and suburbanisation, which were themselves crucial to the reorganisation and expansion of American Empire, Novel Shocks reorients, rescales, and transforms dominant nation-centric accounts of post-war American literature by simultaneously foregrounding the experiential and local, as well as the global.
