In selected twentieth- and twenty-first-century texts, ranging from Plath to Roth, Ahlberg reads contemporary narratives, particularly "transatlantic literature", as it imagines and navigates today's virtual spaces. Ultimately, Ahlberg's argument empowers the reader to reimagine a future for narrative in the Information Age.
"Atlantic Afterlives asks a haunting question: how are we to preserve knowledge and narrative from the smooth, cancelling comforts of pure information? The book offers no single answer, but Ahlberg's subtle and imaginative readings of a range of contemporary writers, from Cormac McCarthy to Michel Faber, from Annie Proulx to Michel Houellebecq, provide many new ways of thinking about literature's relation to a changing world." - Michael Wood, Emeritus Professor of English, Princeton University, USA
