My research interests include modern and contemporary Anglophone literature, critical theory, histories of the novel, and the sociology of literature. My book, The Late Modernist Novel: A Critique of Global Narrative Reason, shows how late modernist writing incorporated empirical structures into the novel to expand the genre beyond the political framework of the nation. I have also written general audience reviews for Public Books, The Guardian, and the LA Review of Books.
