"Collage in Twenty-First-Century Literature in English offers an engaging, ambitious, and comprehensive survey of American and British collage literature in the new century. Focusing primarily on the experimental novel, with some detours through experimental writers and poets who turned to creative non-fiction projects, Wojciech Drag's excellent critical account of collage shows it to be a surprisingly vibrant literary technique for writers responding to the emerging crises of the new millennium."

"This book is a valuable and original contribution to the fields of twenty-first-century literature, collage, and the legacies of modernism and postmodernism. By surveying a range of related but divergent texts by authors with a demonstrable interest in the collage practice, the author moves to create an identifiable twenty-first-century collage canon, with clear roots in 20th-century collage and avant-garde practices."
Rona Cran, Lecturer in Twentieth-Century American Literature, University of Birmingham
"In Collage in Twenty-First-Century Literature in English, Wojciech Drag convincingly demonstrates that collage remains a poignant aesthetic in the twenty-first century. Through techniques such as juxtaposition and thematic joints, the poetics of collage enable contemporary writers to engage with the personal and political crises of the contemporary."
