Biography
My current research attempts to explore US-American literature through the forms and in the spaces which constitute the limits, contradictions, and mediations of novels/of the novel. I focus
especially on questions of raciality, historicity, and desire, sustaining these interests by engaging with the Black radical tradition, postcolonial studies, psychoanalysis, and Marxism.
