Recenzje

Crosthwaite's expansive study argues that fictions of speculation enable us to think differently and in nuanced ways about questions of temporality, futurity, and chronology. Beautifully written, persuasively argued, and impeccably historicised, the book is essential reading not only for economic critics but for anyone interested in American literature of the long twentieth century.
