About

Contemporary and postcolonial fiction; mass media; modernism; the novel.

I am Editor for British and Anglophone Literature at the journal Contemporary Literature.

I am working on a collaborative book with Mark Garrett Cooper (University of South Carolina) provisionally called “Mass Media and the Humanities Workforce.”

I am also writing a book with the working title “Mega: How Mass Media Make Contemporary Cities” and am the author of Geopolitics and the Anglophone Novel, 1890-2011 (Cambridge UP, 2012) and The Modernist Novel and the Decline of Empire (Cambridge UP, 2005, 2009).
