The Great Recession in Fiction, Film, and Television: Twenty-first-Century Bust Culture examines pop artifacts not typically included in discussions of the financial meltdown; the collected essays treat our busted culture as a seismograph that registers the traumas of collapse. In accessible, intellectually rigorous prose, each essay locates their subject - from disaster films to graphic novels - along a spectrum of ideological fantasies, social erasures, and profound anxieties inspired by the Great Recession.
