Naomi Mandel
editNaomi Mandel is a Professor of English and Comparative Literature in the University of Rhode Island English Department[1].
Selected Publications
edit- Mandel's first book, Against the Unspeakable: Complicity, the Holocaust, and Slavery in America investigates the assumption that atrocity defies language, comprehension, and thought. She examines the political and cultural work that claims for unspeakability perform, the forms such claims take, the sources of their appeal, and what happens when they are resisted [2].
- With Professor Alain-Philippe Durand, Mandel has also co-edited a collection of essays titled Novels of the Contemporary Extreme. This book investigates the contemporary phenomenon of "extreme fiction" and explores its international dimension with essays on novels from North and South America, Europe, and the Middle East[3].
- Her third book, an edited collection of essays on U.S. author Bret Easton Ellis, is titled Bret Easton Ellis: American Psycho, Glamorama, Lunar Park[4].
- She has published essays and reviews in boundary 2,[5] Modern Fiction Studies,[6] SubStance,[7] Novel,[8] Criticism,[9] Modernism/Modernity,[10] Cultural Critique,[11] and the online Journal of Mundane Behavior, where she edited a special edition on Atrocity, Outrage and the Ordinary. Mandel's current work focuses on the relationship between violence, reality, and truth in contemporary fiction.
